Humble Velocipede Flat-Pack design

thingiverse

This version of the Humble Velocipede uses Ninjaflex to print its legs. The Shin and Thigh parts print flat, taking advantage of Ninjaflex's flexibility to fold into place seamlessly. All other components should be printed in PLA or another hard filament for optimal results. Assembled models are available for purchase on Etsy at: https://www.etsy.com/shop/thehumblevelocipede The Humble Velocipede is a playful desktop toy designed to scuttle effortlessly across countertops and coffee tables. Inspired by Theo Jansen's Strandbeest creatures, this design combines 3D printing with custom hardware to bring the beauty of Jansen's walking mechanism within reach. Crankshaft kits are available for purchase on Adafruit at: https://www.adafruit.com/product/3542 If you don't own a printer, these parts can be printed locally through 3D Hubs at: http://www.3dhubs.com To buy this model, it is available for sale here: http://etsy.me/2ywoPgO For all things Humble Velocipede related, check out the links below!
