Dragonfly Automata
thingiverse
A work in progress dragonfly automata I had been initially developing for a small project within my SolidWorks class. Additional .STLs of the prototypes will follow soon. Upon bending the wire for the axle, I discovered that the required tolerances were tighter than I could achieve with the spring wire and needlenose pliers at my disposal. In later iterations, I plan to try a different method of bending as well as using a thinner/more readily bent wire. Acetone was utilized to finish and join parts through solvent welding. Wire was heat-set into pre-printed holes in ABS components.
