Guardian Robot, Hackable

thingiverse

This is an update to the Guardian Robot, designed to provide ample space for electronics. I worked closely with Noe and lordtron to create useful hooks in this design. ### Community * Sonoranguy modified the feet to eliminate rotating claws. The rotating claws can be fragile, which this modification would fix. * Pyrofer check out this improved version of the Guardian leg. It no longer snaps in place, but looks much closer to the original. * Noe designed a new base to secure a stepper motor and switch. * Blkhawk updated Noe's base to work with more stepper motors and is working on a leg redesign. Also check out Blkhawk's updated details which allows him to print them separately. #### Changes from Original Guardian Robot * Removable base and head * Pass-through in the base for cables from the legs * Room for a 10 mm LED in the head * Room for a small board and battery * Room for a servo motor, I've modeled a SG90 * Mounting points for additional hardware in the body (see drawing) * Mounting points for a motor arm in the head (see drawing) * I modeled a servo arm for a SG90, but I recommend you model your own using the head mounting points. * A structure needs to be built for the motor securing it to the body. ### Parts to Print ##### Hackable * Body * Base Cover * Head ##### Details Separate I've added files with the details separate to facilitate printing the hackable model with a dual extruder. The parts added are: * Base Plain * Base Cover * Base Details * Head Plain * Head Details * Hips 6 ##### Details Separate, LED THRU A modification recommended by Noe was to slice the details so that they penetrated to the interior of the body. This would allow a transparent material to be used which would allow an internal LED to shine through. **Update to Details Separate, LED THRU** I've modified the ears of the head to not use the secondary material. Printing these small details with a second material does not seem to work well. * Base Plain Thru * Base Cover * Base Detail Thru Assembly * Head Plain Thru * Head Details Thru Assembly * Hips 6
