Beveled camshaft arms for Strandbeest

thingiverse

These are replacements for several parts of the Printable Strandbeest designed by Snelon. If you've encountered issues with your Strandbeest legs seizing up, I believe these modifications might resolve one possible cause. After inspecting my camshafts, I discovered that they were rubbing against and occasionally catching on adjacent frame ends, which depended on how much the drive train had wobbled at any given moment. Instead of sanding everything down, this solution seems more foolproof to me. Use these custom camshafts instead of the original ones and install them with the rounded side facing the nearest frame end. I would like to thank Snelon for creating the Strandbeest design and danrwill for providing an invaluable assembly guide.
