USBot - 3D printed USB Robot!

myminifactory

This 3D printed USB robot springs to life, with print securely in place, its moving arms and legs a testament to modern innovation. It serves as a practical yet cool replacement for the old, mundane USB stick, boasting a soft flexible head that safeguards the actual connector from scratches and damage. The sturdy design holds up well even when printed with more brittle materials like Woodfill or PLA. When plugged into a computer, the hand can be used to cradle the head, preventing it from getting lost in the process. Modeled in Fusion 360 to fit standard 45mm USB PCBs, instructions are included for extracting the PCB from its original casing or purchasing one separately. The model prints in five parts but assembles easily, requiring no glue; although using adhesive will significantly increase durability. A rubber TPE insert is also embedded in the head, but if flexible filament is not available, it can be printed with PLA instead, albeit at a reduced lifespan. Thankfully, this design doesn't necessitate any support material, and its origins remain anonymous.
