Segway Sommelier, Remote Control Wine Servant

thingiverse

Human: Segway Sommelier is a Remote Control Wine Servant designed to be mounted on a Ninebot Mini Pro by Segway. The Ninebot can be driven around remotely using a Bluetooth phone app found at https://youtu.be/Tkf61a0lnHo. To assemble the wine caddy, print one base section and three caddy top pieces. Remove the pad assembly from the steering arm of the 9bot by popping off a plastic plate, removing three screws with a hex wrench, and lifting the knee pad assembly straight up. The base assembly slips loosely over the triangular steering column. A couple of shims can be used to keep it from rattling. It's up to you to avoid disassembly issues, broken wineglasses, frightened housepets, jealous covetous over-imbibing guests, etc. I was able to easily reattach the knee pad assembly when I wanted to ride the Segway again, but there is at least one gotcha. After lifting the kneepad assembly out of the steering arm when disassembling, don't get curious and mess with the inner triangular sleeve. If you do, a ball/bearing and spring can pop out, and be difficult to put back. If you lose them, the Segway itself will still work fine but the telescoping portage arm will be a bit loose. I actually just bought an extra steering arm to make it easier to switch back and forth between riding and robotics/performance-art configurations. To print the wine caddy, use the following settings: Printer Brand is MakerGear, Printer is M2, Infill is 10% or more for base, 20% or more for arms.
