The Walking (Yet Headless) Cat

thingiverse

This text appears to be an instruction manual or guide for assembling a 3D printed robotic cat, likely created using a 3D printing software such as FreeCAD. The guide assumes some basic knowledge of 3D printing and assembly, but provides detailed steps for assembling the various components. The guide is divided into five sections: 1. Preparation 2. Assembling the motor gear box 3. Adding the axles and completing the body 4. Adding the excentre and joint 5. Adding the legs Each section includes step-by-step instructions, along with pictures (not included in the text) to illustrate the assembly process. Some key points from the guide include: * The use of M3 screws or widening the grooves on the motor gear box with a drill * The importance of ensuring that the axles and eccentrics are properly aligned and meshing correctly * The need for lubrication (oil) to reduce friction in the system * The possibility of needing to loosen the gears and manually run-in the axles, eccentrics, joints, and legs to achieve smooth movement The guide also notes that some crucial parts are missing, such as individual faces and tails for the front and back of the cat, which can be designed using 3D printing or paper. Overall, this guide provides a detailed and informative resource for assembling a complex 3D printed robotic model.
