Chip-Droid

thingiverse

This is my Chip-E android remix. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hLDJRxBzGDE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> I had to redo the entire body in a cylindrical shape. The assembly steps are basically the same as the original Chip-E since the body is still broken down into the same sections. The main difference is that the lcd panel goes through the tube connecting the droid's head and needs to be hot-glued behind the eye-holes. The arms are designed to swing back and forth as Chip-E dances or walks. You will need two skateboard bearings to attach the arms. Unfortunately, the increase in size of my Chip-Droid has caused it to have a little trouble staying upright when walking or dancing. I tried printing bigger feet for poor clumsy Chip-Droid, but it didn't seem to help. I might try modifying the code to get him to either move slower or use smaller stepper angles. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VDz8YJTfJ88" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Enjoy the Chip-Droid!
