Walking Gear Robot (V-9V)

thingiverse

I already mentioned that this is a fantastic project of otvinta3D, and I've already published a remix about installing an On/Off switch. Now I noticed that this device has a significant load to carry - the weight of 4 AA batteries is substantial. There's also considerable resistance due to numerous friction points. By using a 9V battery, the weight could be reduced dramatically (motor holder with 4 AA = 180g, with 9V battery = 100g) and more power would become available. Additionally, we could achieve a lower center of gravity, making it more optimal. This meant that wg_motorholder.stl had to be completely redesigned. Here is the result: https://youtu.be/Vp4CmyoWPwA Instead of a DC 6V 30 rpm motor, I used a Yosoo DC 6/12V 50/200/300 motor. In combination with a 9V battery, it results in an appropriate walking speed for the robot. These are the new stl files: wg_motorholder_V-9V and wg_batt_cover_V-9V. Both parts can be printed without support. All other parts remain unchanged and can be found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2036149 I used the following components: Mini DC 6/12V 50/200/300 rpm Micro Gear Motor AC 125 V 6A ON-ON 3 Pins 2 Position Mini Toggle Switch 1 self-tapping screw ø2,9x 9mm for fixing the cover. By the way, and about half the printing time for these two parts in comparison to the original!
