Mandelbot: Your new paper robot friend
Here’s a paper toy robot that I designed for Fractalspin.com, Mandelbot. Just download the PDF (email address required), print it out on cardstock or heavy paper, cut him out with an X-acto knife and then glue or tape him together.
He’s also featured on the back of a 5.5 x 8.5″ postcard featuring items from Fractalspin, although the gloss coating means you’d have to use super glue or a similar adhesive to get him to stick together (printer’s error *shrug*), and it will look nicer if you lightly score the fold lines before putting it together.
The idea was to design a toy or object that could be sent overseas as a promotional product very inexpensively, and it just so happens that it can also be downloaded and assembled without using postage, giving it a delivery cost of nearly nothing.
Here’s a direct link.
