Making a four legged walker - inspired by Kame and Max the Megapod - teaching myself OpenSCAD Wanted to make a walker that was somewhat easily customizable by adjusting parameters in an OpenSCAD script. Wanted to experiment w/ cheap skateboard bearings. Wanted to use standard servos. 9/22/2019 - mostly just modifying the OpenSCAD script so that it's easy to tweak dimensions and is consistent throughout the script 9/25/2019 - tweaked the servo dimensions a bit - prototype print was a little tight on flange length - bearing seated nicely First concept of the joint from body to suspended servo 10/3 Single piece joint didn't work out but two halves are great and much faster to print. Tweaks to body have servos seating nicely in body. next steps: mod body where to mount battery/controller - servo to joint interface - was thinking about using simple gears. 11/20 trying to make the servo mount more modular - if I can get happy with this part I can include it, angle it and mirror the part in openscad 11/21 got rid of the cut out in the cylinder - thinking about how to mount control boards and battery - thinking about carving slots into the sides of a rectangular body to slide the boards into - need to decide on a battery for the servos and for the controller. 11/24 first attempt w/ a rectangular body
