First of all, this is not my own design. If you like it, please send a tip to NirDobovizki.
Having identified some drawbacks in the original design regarding easy printability I pulled the STL on TinkerCAD and took a few minutes of my spare time to make some minor modifications to enhance bed adhesion.
While I was at it I also realized that there was enough space left in the body to make the robot head articulated, too!
So I simply copied one of the arm links there. Works like a treat!
Printing time is (only) a few seconds longer than the original V2 version; actually Cura shows both the old and new one as "11 minutes" with my settings.
I did not manage to print a robot V2 or V3 in under 10 minutes that actually looked nice.
