DIY Life-Size Terminator Arm Lamp

First of all. Thank you nracmo ( https://www.thingiverse.com/nracmo/about ) for the design! I have cleaned up a couple of parts, redesigned some of them to fit my need and raised the resolution. Further more i have designed a stand for the arm.

The arm is based on the second terminator movie.

If you're interested in the V3 of my terminator skull check out the Discord to stay up to date with the project.

Update 10.06.2018

Fixed an error in hand.stl which could result in holes on the tip of the piston for the middle finger. (Thanks 3D_ProtoPrinting -> https://www.thingiverse.com/3D_ProtoPrinting/about )

Update 16.06.2018

Due to some difficulties people had with the files hand_tubes.stl and arm_rods.stl. I have added split versions of the two files.

If you still have problems with a tube try to lower the speed by 50% to allow the print to cool more and use a raft.
