BUG BOTS - Meccano Expansion Parts

thingiverse

These are assorted BUGs and Parts, like LadyBugs, based off of the Meccano Parts. The Legs plug directly into the Body. The Dome can be either screwed onto the Circular Base or glued on using a Gluegun. Image-3 is the little girl who helped me build these, one of my daughters. You may want to refer to the Meccano - Base Parts - Plates Struts Angles page. Print Settings Printer Brand: RepRap Printer: Mendel Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm - 0.8mm Nozzle Tips Notes: I printed these on a Mendel RepRap with 1.75mm fibre. I used a 0.8mm Nozzle Tip with a 0.5mm Layer Height setting. You can use any tip from 0.2mm to 0.8mm and it should print fine. It took between 3-10 minutes per part to print. Walls and Caps need to be rotated 90-degrees to be flat on the table to print properly. Rafts are suggested for large nodes. Parts may be a little thin and fragile, so handle them carefully when removing. Post-Printing Parts may have burrs and require filing to finish. You can use bolts or a Gluegun. How I Designed This I used TinkerCad. The design is based off of the Meccano Parts.
