Gizmo - Robotic Dog

pinshape

This was an old school project from a design class where students created a toy to teach kids about dog body language in order to reduce the risk of getting bitten. The full project can be viewed here. I liked the design so much that I decided to make it 3d printable. Its arms, legs, neck, and head are all capable of rotating giving it various postures. The print comes together easily with no need for glue or fasteners. Prints well with standard settings except I increased the support material density to thirty percent. The head relies on support material the most which helps the part fit more cleanly. Check out the "gizmo_total.stl" file for the orientations used for all of the parts.
