Mechanical Spider

thingiverse

I had a blast working on this project. I made some significant tweaks to the design, modifying the base, middle, and top decks to minimize plastic usage and reduce weight. I also modified the main drive screw for improved performance. Additionally, I added a DC Motor cover for protection. I created a new leg cam part from scratch and redesigned the leg gears to incorporate bearings and a smoother cam engagement mechanism. Furthermore, I increased the surface area of the feet for enhanced grip. To accommodate smaller print beds, I divided all the parts into smaller components that can fit on a 150x150 print bed size. And, as a fun touch, I included an optional doll head design! The STL files will be available soon. I'd like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to my fiancée Trish for her unwavering patience and expertise in post-processing the parts.
