Vorpal Hexapod mod

thingiverse

I did print a Vorpal Hexapod, but there is an optical part of the legs I did not like and therefore made a new design of the legs. After this had been done, I wanted to assemble the Vorpal and felt not happy again about the electronic caddy, seen the electronic parts did not fit well enough for my taste. And so I made as well a new design of this part. With this new caddy, the I2C print can be fixed now with M2 screws and I added as well a slot for an UBEC 3A from Yuki model. Support makes sense and to take care about the settings for bridging would not be wrong as well, like you can see on the picture of my printed part. But seen it's inside of the bot, I'm not gonna print out a new part for senseless perfectionism. There is another cleaned up design from the footparts which I did not print out, but from the picture it looks better than the one I made: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2862447 I printed the Vorpal from Thingiverse, but there was a spot on the foot parts that bothered me optically. So I redrew them and gave them our club's name. Next, when assembling, I noticed that the electronic component mounting was also quite unsatisfactory for me. That's why I redesigned the electronic caddy as well. Now the I2C board can be securely attached with threaded inserts and M2 screws, and a Yuki model BEC has also been given a slot. You can see on the pictures that both bridging settings and good placement of supports make sense, at least if you want to achieve a better result than mine. Personally, I won't print a new part because the caddy is inside the Hexabot. It looks like I'm not alone in feeling that the original foot design was a bit messy. Here's another cleaned-up version: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2862447 This part has been printed and tested. This is a design by and for machwas-makerspace.ch
