Motorized, Articulated T Rex(ish) Pin Walker

youmagine

"It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing (Doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah...)" Sorry, an old song by Duke Ellington, 1943 came to mind while designing this model. Anyway, "Motorized, Articulated T Rex(ish) Pin Walker" is yet another pin walker design featuring an articulated T Rex styled body that swings from side to side as the model walks along. While paleontologists around the world might tell you this model does not accurately represent the walking motion of a T Rex, I'm old enough to remember seeing one in action and yes it does swing like that. Okay, maybe not really but designing this model was fun anyway. The model is designed to swing the articulated T Rex body ("Body.stl") at ± 8 degrees with a rotational velocity sufficient enough to cause full swing articulation of the 3D printed in place body. As you may know from my previous pin walker designs, they were all inspired by talented creators like RobotHut and Rick100. Check out their amazing work on YouTube. If you have any questions or find any mistakes, please don't hesitate to ask as I often forget a file or two.
