Edit 2024!!
Pasts years I had stopped distributing the files from the Chappie head, despite frequent requests because I found that it deserved a higher resolution (Original files were from 2015...). It's now done! STL files are now all in high resolution!!

Chappie Head Full pack

Chappie Head Replica, 1:1 scaled props. Made from pictures of prototypes, Weta auction's, and measures kindly taken by Caxack on his original props acquired from VIP Auction.The model is recognized as the most screen acurate to date and has been successfully assembled by many replica props...

If you encounter a problem downloading the files let me know by pm.


Original post from 2015:
Hello,
I open this topic to share the files of my Chappie Head Replica, 1:1 scaled props. All the .STL files linked are succesfully printed with basic Pusa i3 3D printer, with 0,2mm layer and 30% infill.
I use pictures of prototypes and Weta auction's, and measures kindly taken by Caxack on his original props acquired from VIP Auction, and I'm try to design a model as the most accurate and most detailed possible, and printable.

Some renders of the STL files with Blender:







Heres some pics of the finished head work and the CAD soft screenshot:






LCD Screen and Speaker:



Bumpers and Headbox:



Here's my Chappie head STL files printed by Eddie Zarrick in an awesome annimatronic project:

Thank's!!!
Caxack, can you take the yellow mesurements on your prop? It try now to understand how is maintained the camera pod under the Headbox. Maybe the Pod is closed the small lug and only screwed to the bumper's 3mm hole? (In red on the pic)

Hi hopefully these will help

I thing the camera pod would anchor to the two back points, and may slip under the front lip. The hole on the side is fort the lower mouth bar and head tubes.

Thank's for this valuable pics!!!! I'm pretty closed from the original props (1mm) I will empty the inside the front lip to fit the Camera Pod And just after that start the camera pod itself.

Thanks so much for offering these on thingiverse Razmataz
I started modelling the ears and the side of the head but thats how far I got before other projects took over, the usual.

Looking forward to printing these out

Thanks I've started this build because I was very disappointed to not find any free replica, or something easy to print without dismembering point by point a Mesh under Blender.
But it's clearly a big work. Hopefully, we have the pics of the eBay sales from VIP auctions and the mesurements from Caxack on the original Weta props.

I've added today the anchor point for the camera pod, and entirely rebuild the head box, it's better now. Now I will start the Camera Pod (That give me a small break before finishing the back of the head box).

The Camera Pod is now readdy. I've included the splitted Mesh if you want to print without material support. I've not tested yet the print because I'm out of stock about Blue ABS.
@ Caxack: I've addded a thin 2mm support plate to fit the Cam into the Headbox, you will be able to fix it easily into your prop, if not, I've added the full Cam Pod without this plate.
Enjoy

Trial fit. . Looks awesome

I had the two part model printed by mistake however it fits well only 2mm gap either side at the front. Will now have the model with all the front detail printed, a bit of sanding and paint.

Thanks for the great model.

Once the moulding stuff actually arrives I think I will try and cast one of these as well.

Yeah!!! That's great!!!
When seen your pics, I just notice I've make a mistake: I've posted on Thinkgiverse a splitted file for printing without material suppport with some missing camera parts (On the left side and middle). I've corrected the bug and updated the files now, it's named: Chappie-Camera-Pod-main-Split.stl

New Pieces available, Speaker and LCD Screen Eyes.
Two versions are available for the Speaker: A Grid with holes or a full mesh (Probably more easy to print)

Thank's!!! I hope finding time to print my own, because I just received an original stickers set prop's



About that: Someone know why some props (ear side plate from head, stickers etc..) are labelled "Denel" and not "Tetravaal"?

Click to expand...

Denel is a real defence company in South Africa, possibly a nod to them in the film?

Where did you get the sticker pack mate?
