DIY robot vacuum

thingiverse

I designed a 3D printed robot vacuum without studying commercial models, which may have led to an unsophisticated construction. However, it works! The only issue is that it's quite noisy, similar to a standard vacuum cleaner. Nevertheless, the noise level depends on how you set it up. Honestly, if I were to try and identify what needed improvement, it would likely be a version 2 design, as I would do things differently after this experience. Therefore, I corrected all files so that you can use it as is. I'd also appreciate your feedback on the design! Be aware that some parts require supports, and the tires are made from flexible material! Additionally, I remixed the turbine, which is available separately: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4548370 You may need to obtain: 1x brushless DC motor 2x NEMA17 steppers 3x M4x10 (for adapter for filter bag) 9x M2.5x10 (to hold front wheels and front shield) 8x M4x30 (to mount top panel) 6x M3x20 (for wheel modules and turbine holder) 2x M4x40 (to secure locking parts) and nuts for all of them. 2x M6x70 to screw into cover hinge (directly into fillament material) or you can use something else to secure the hinge - I used what was available. The front wheel is mounted on a 3mmx40mm rod pulled from an old CD drive. I'm preparing a video that will explain which electronics I used. Some optional wholes for screws are included, which I don't use but might be helpful if needed. Also, some spare spacers have been added, so don't be surprised if something remains after assembly. A brushed DC module file is available in case you don't have steppers - it will require 2x M5x50 and 4x M3x30, as well as 4x 16mm bearings with internal diameter 5mm.
