Inspired by the iconic Purpose/Butter robot from Rick and Morty Season 1, Episode 9, this 3D printed model brings the quirky character to life with some unique enhancements. Now you can relive the existential dread and humor of this beloved robot right at home!

Key Features:

LED Integration: The robot comes to life (well, sort of) with a red and green 5mm LED, powered by 2 AA batteries. Who knew existential crises could be so bright?
Realistic Lens: Using a slice of the lens model as a mold, we crafted a clear lens with UV resin, adding that extra layer of realism. Just don’t ask it about its purpose.
Filament Wires: The wires on top are creatively made from off cuts of red and yellow filament. It’s like giving the robot a colorful, albeit meaningless, new hairdo.
Magnet Slots: Slots for magnets in the head and leg/body sections allow for rotation, though honestly, it’s not needed. The robot already knows it’s going nowhere fast.
Sturdy Assembly: The arms attach to the body using M3 3mm to 8mm screws, and the hands with M2 3mm to 8mm screws. Alternatively, glue can be used if you’re in a hurry to get it questioning its existence.
Alignment Pins: 5mm x 5mm pins help align the threads and foot and body/legs models when gluing. CA glue is recommended, but any should work. You know, just like any of us searching for meaning.

Dimensions:

Height: 190mm
Width: 110mm
Depth: 110mm

Components Required:

Enjoy bringing this little robot to life, and remember, even if it can't find its purpose, it can still add some Rick and Morty humor to your day!

great model! going to make a nice Christmas present to a Rick and Morty fan. working through some upgrades still and will share a print profile when I do. thanks for the model! I put some effort into a print profile with a lot of improved parts not noticing your licensing and my profile got taken down unfortunately.

looks great, I should probably do a version so you can add CyberBrick to it so it moves. I've been waiting for the official Butter Bot Kickstarter for ages which is why I designed this.

Replying to @pumpkin20303 :

Moving would be amazing. Wife thought I should make that upgrade as well. I might just do that. BTW, the toggle switch you link to is discontinued.

Replying to @cmcraig2 :

noooo, thanks for that. I'll update it ASAP

@pumpkin20303

that's a great idea, perhaps I should make a v2 with different hands for various tasks.

@Epokk

As someone with zero experience on electronics, this seems daunting. Could you please elaborate on how to do the electronics or point me in the direction of some type of guide on how to connect this? Thanks

The designer has replied

@pumpkin20303

the last photo is the wiring diagram, it's just powering the 2 LEDs from a 2xAA or 2xAAA battery pack. take the red wire/positive wire from the battery pack and connect it to the positive leg of the LED, the long leg and the black wire to the negative of the LED, short leg. if you want to add a switch you just put it in-between the battery and the LED. it is just a simple circuit and that's all there is too it.

@Epokk

thank you!

Came out very cool. I made up an insert for the red light at the top and the lens part so it looked like it should as I wasn’t going to do the lights. It would be nice if the screws were all the larger size though. The smaller screws are not something I keep. I ended up just sizing the holes up for 8mm

Had a blast building mine, made one for home and office. Even working on a modded one that houses a motion sensor to trigger it to ask "What's my purpose?">

Quick question, i'm trying to change the filament on plate 1 to use my petg. When I make the change on all the objects they show as PETG in the side bar on the left, but the object color doesn't change. And if i slice it and go to print, and try and change it before it starts the print, it wont allow me to change to PETG, only a PLA. Is this because of something the designer forced?

The designer has replied

@pumpkin20303

hi there, it looks like you selected multiple parts from multiple plates and for some reason it's not changing. it looks like plate 1 is set up for PLA wood. looks like you've also got a part on plate 4 as pla wood. I think you have to select the parts that are just on that plate or just change the pla wood to petg
