Introduction: 3D Printed Walking Quad Robot
Here's a simple quadruped robot I made to demonstrate how to use a battery holder for 2 AA batteries. The 3D print is easy, with no supports needed.
Supplies
- DC Motor
- Wood screws
- Wires
- Screwdriver
- Battery holder for 2 AA batteries
STL files:
- Quad-Body.stl x1
- Quad-Foot.stl x4
- Quad-Hub_10mm.stl x10
- Quad-Hub_13mm.stl x4
- Quad-Leg.stl x4
- Quad-Lock.st x12
- Quad-Rotor.stl x2
- Quad-Separator.stl x2
- Quad-Shin.stl x4
- Quad-Washer.stl x18
Attachments
Step 1:
Attach the 4 "Quad-Shin.stl" to the "Quad-Body.stl" with the screws, "Quad-Washer.stl", "Quad-Hub_10mm.stl" and the "Quad-Lock.stl".
Step 2:
Rotate the assembly downwards to secure the battery holder and DC motor to the "Quad-Body.stl" with screws. The screws should not extend too far into the motor body to avoid touching the gears.
Connect the motor to the battery holder with the wires.
Step 3:
Assemble the "Quad-Leg.stl" with the "Quad-Rotor.stl", "Quad-Hub_10mm.stl", the "Quad-Washer.stl" with screws
Step 4:
Attach the legs to the "Quad-Shin.stl" and insert the "Quad-Rotor.stl" onto the motor shaft.
The rotors must be aligned on opposite sides of each other.
Step 5:
Repeat step 3 to assemble the legs on the other side.
Step 6:
Attach the "Quad-Foot.stl", "Quad-Washer.stl" to the "Quad-Leg.stl" with the "Quad-Hub_13mm.stl" and screws.
Put 2 batteries AA and enjoy it!
