Budget Kame - A quadruped body for SG90 servos based on Kame

thingiverse

I decided to give the popular Kame quadruped design a complete overhaul. The redesign is based on my own ideas, rather than just modifying the original. I took inspiration from bq3D's original design but made significant changes. This new version won't be compatible with the original Kame or vice versa. Since I gained more knowledge about legged robots, I decided to move on and abandon this project. You can find all the source files in the archive file for Sketchup. Feel free to make it your own! Here are some key changes I made: * Optimized for cheap SG90 servos by reducing the size of the recess for the servo arms. * Added a battery compartment that holds 4x AA batteries, eliminating the need for expensive LiPo batteries and chargers. * Designed additional compartments and adjusted the holes for servo cables. * Thicker walls to contain the nuts, as I personally prefer them not sticking out. Here are some features that remained unchanged from the original: * Still an 8DOF design (as obvious as it is). * This redesign only changes the body and doesn't involve software or electronics. * Designed for M3 screws with round head & lock nuts, along with F693 ZZ bearings. If I could go back, here's what I would have added: * A removable top cover that wouldn't require removing the legs. * Redesigned the battery compartment to accommodate 18650 cells. * Increased measurement tolerance for less accurate 3D printers to reduce post-printing work.
