walking table

pinshape

This is a model for a full-size table that I designed to be made in bamboo. Check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUmu_xiiwMI. Also, take a look at this article from Hackaday: http://hackaday.com/2013/12/04/crab-ble-a-table-that-walks/#more-108937. To make the parts for this table, print them all at 0.25 mm layer height using a nozzle of .4 or less. The parts are interconnected with an M3 threaded rod and nuts. You'll need to print six sets of the leg set and two sets of the cross-brace set. If you're interested in making this table, I'll be creating a detailed assembly diagram soon. The motors for this model are optional - if needed, it can also be moved manually. I used 1:100 ratio 6V geared DC motors. Keep in mind that a lot of plastic lubricant is required, and the print tends to jam up easily. The legs of the table are connected with an M3 x 12 mm hex nut and bolt.
