Nice! Now I can see that the Heinrich has anti-radiation coating on its windows! And of the barrel? “Hah hah - bay 12 please.”

Oops, my mistake, the links were bad. Hopefully I fixed it now :)

I see empty grey squares.

If the Heinrich needs a hand in the super higly contaminated areas, a Fliege or Kauz could help, since the Fliege has a tiny window and the Kauz has none.

Hopefully you can sort the photo glitch, as I’m very interested to see what you have done!

Hello!

3D printed parts and electronics - sounds very interesting, but regrettably the link doesn't work for me... It says something about authentication method... Couldn't you just post some pictures? Have a nice day

All comments and critique welcomed. Thanks for your honest opinions!

This is the old Nitto suit, modified to work in a radioactive waste disposal role. The waste drums, claws and rotating beacon are all 3D printed parts I made myself. The lights are controlled with an Arduino Nano hidden under the base, with the wires routed through plastic tubing inside the legs. I painted the canopy gold to hide al the wiring inside the torso (I justify it as some sort of anti-radiation coating Stick out tongue )
