Hi everyone, I’m currently working on a project regarding a 3D printer, an A-pod robot and some awesome stuff found here on this forum. Here I will try to share my experience with my hexapods and try to combine a tutorial on how to print an A-pod from a 3D printer and make it w…

We’re certainly happy to have you here and look forward to seeing your projects progress. Unfortunately the A-Pod design is not open source, though you should be able to get a very good idea of the design by looking through the assembly guide: lynxmotion.com/driver.aspx?T … sem…

Very nice, will you encase the LED like on the drawings ?
