Here's my version of the iconic character from Rick and Morty, the butter delivery robot! He's made from aluminum, brass, and stainless steel, and is proportioned to match the butter bot of the cartoon. (which actually mean's he's really short!)

This video shows the entire design and build process, from a screen grab of the cartoon to the finished metal robot himself, and all of the CAD, machining, cutting, grinding, turning, and 3D printing in between. Hope you enjoy!

Let me know what I did wrong in the comments! I'm pretty new to most of the metalworking techniques shown and I'd love some feedback if I'm portraying anything badly. And before you say it, yes, that was the best way to mount the cutter in the lathe at the time! It looks pretty bad...
