CuttleBot v000

prusaprinters

<p>Inspired by the work of @glowascii, @odd_jayy, @CworthDynamics, the recent Cephalopod Week, and my affection for steampunk and cuttlefish, I wanted to build my very own steampunk / cuttlefish / companion robot.</p> <p>In case you want more backstory, you can read several of my progress / blog posts here: <a href="http://makerblock.com/2019/06/cephalopod-robot-friend-the-story-so-far/">http://makerblock.com/2019/06/cephalopod-robot-friend-the-story-so-far/</a></p> <p>Assembly should be pretty easy.</p> <p>1) Print the three parts to the CuttleBot (head, body, tail) and a bunch of the connector pins<br/> 2) Print as many of the tentacle pieces as you want and a tentacle end piece for each tentacle<br/> 3) Run the fishing line and elastic cord through the tentacles, and through the back of the head of the 'bot<br/> 4) Assemble the 'bot using the connector pins</p> <p>There's numerous things on my to-do list, such as adding some holes to the eyes so I can run LED's through them, places to affix a battery, servos, and a microcontroller inside. It's a work in progress. :)</p> <p>Links to where you can get the fishing line and elastic cord:</p> <ul> <li>Clear monofilament line: <a href="https://amzn.to/2XlHhRl">https://amzn.to/2XlHhRl</a> ($4 for 140 yards, 40 lb)</li> <li>Elastic cord: <a href="https://amzn.to/2JaxCt0">https://amzn.to/2JaxCt0</a> ($7.50 / 72 yards)<br/> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=re_X-lbhpmk">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=re\_X-lbhpmk</a></li> </ul> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Unassociated tags: cephalopod week, companion robot<br/> Category: Robotics</p>
