This is a design for a full-size table made entirely out of bamboo. Check out the tutorial on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUmu_xiiwMI or read more about it on Hackaday at http://hackaday.com/2013/12/04/crab-ble-a-table-that-walks/#more-108937. To build this table, start by printing all the parts with a layer height of 0.25 mm using a nozzle size of 0.4 or less. The interconnected components are held together by M3 threaded rods and nuts. In the center, attach the battery holder to keep everything powered up. You'll need to print six sets of leg components and two sets of cross-brace parts. If you're interested in building this table, I'm working on creating a detailed assembly diagram that will walk you through every step of the process. While motors are optional, they make it easy to move the table around if needed. For my build, I used 1:100 ratio, 6V geared DC motors, which worked great. To keep everything running smoothly, apply plenty of plastic lubricant to all moving parts – this will help prevent jamming issues. Finally, join the legs together using M3 x 12 mm hex nuts and bolts.
