Tow Walker

thingiverse

Hi! This is my first robot/mecha creation, a project I've always wanted to undertake. Here's my initial attempt. I call it the Tow Walker, a mecha version of a tow truck. (Thanks to @AlkeshOne on Twitter for suggesting this name.) **UPDATE 7/14/2017:** I replaced the original chain file with a new one (chain-70.stl) that fits better in small spaces. **UPDATE 5/14/2017:** I updated two files (bottom_plate_rep.stl and pilot_rep.stl. Old versions may cause issues with certain slicers.) I also designed a female pilot figure, as well as a figurine of the woman climbing stairs. The stair climber model comes with Meshmixer supports and without any supports – you can use your own if preferred. All assembly pieces are designed with a 0.15-0.2 mm tolerance to minimize sanding requirements. The chain is printed in place, then cut and carefully inserted into the hook once complete. The figurine stands at 21 cm tall. I hope you enjoy it. Have fun building!
