I was watching some really cool 3D printed robots recently and thought about trying and designing one myself.
I wanted to make it as small as possible but also have a moving, snap together joints. I was thinking about maybe making a series of similar mechs in the future that could be customized and put together in many different ways almost like legos.
It took me a bit to design and print this prototype. I did a lot experimenting with different joint types an ended up with drawer full of different mismatched mech bits. The hardest part was to make the joints work at such a small scale without them being too fragile (he's about 5cm tall).
I think I've got pretty satisfying results in the end. I really enjoyed this a bit more technical kind of project and will be definitely going back and expanding on this idea or trying something similar in the near future.

5 cm tall?! That's impressively small, especially for how much detail you included.
Thanks. I like making tiny things, also I'm kind of tight on space on my shelves at the moment ;)
Uff amigo te entiendo, hacer encastres en piezas tan pequeñas es todo un desafio. Justo ahora estoyde vacaciones y estaba viendo en meterme enalgun proyecto de impresión, podria probar hacer estapieza para pasar el rato.
Afortunadamente, aún me quedaba mucha resina, que no me gusta demasiado para hacer pruebas. No hay problema. Te enviaré los archivos. Puedes darme tu correo electrónico, o podemos usar beechat.
Muchas gracias. Aqui te dejo mi mail amigo
