3D Printed Arduino Spider

This robot is designed by Regis Hsu. I only 3D printed and built it. It was a fun build!

Nice video, Hari. Looks

Nice video, Hari. 

Looks like a fun project to try. Are you going to add sensors or any additional stuff?

Thx Andrew! Not sensors for

Thx Andrew! No sensors for now. I don’t think a full Pi OpenCV would be unreliable to shaky video, but I an ultrasonic sensor probably would work fine.  Let me know if you try it.

well are you from indonesia

well are you from indonesia mr hari wiguna ?

Hello Sw0rdm4n! You are

Hello Sw0rdm4n! You are correct! I was born in Indonesia, but have lived in USA for most of my life. Are you from Indonesia? Where? I’m from Jakarta.

I’m from Tangerang. do you

I’m from Tangerang. do you know Tangerang ? nice to meet you, maybe we could make some business in the future

I really enjoyed the video.

I really enjoyed the video. You’ve inspired me to finally build a quadruped robot. I think seeing that you were able to do it with the cheapest of servos is what pushed me over the edge. I’ve ordered a bunch of those same servos. I started 3d printing that same design that you’ve used and I’ve had a hard time with some of the servo supports. They just seem too fragile. I’m giving this one a try now, instead: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1677703

Thanks very much for posting your robot.

Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the comment.  I also noticed how fragile looking the servo support looks.  Especially the vertical part that takes in two screws.  It looks like the screws would just split that plastic in two, but it didn’t for me and everything is still holding up after demoing it to anyone I could rope in.

The other design you shared looks much sturdier, but also has trickier curves and probably take longer to print.  It’ll be interesting how well it actually works.  I’ll follow you here.
