You still haven’t told us how you cut the parts. Did you use a band saw? a CNC mill?
He explained on the previous page, 2nd or 3rd post from the bottom.
He glued/taped a paper template onto the plastic and used a band saw and cut by following the lines.
For the tibia parts he made a prototype out of aluminum and used the aluminum as a template for the plastic. He first drilled the servo holes into the plastic and tapped them so the servos would fit.
I think thats right ^^;;
Anyhow, I noticed that your hexapod is very very flexible. I think it would be very cool to add some accelerometers/gyros to the body or to each leg. This way you can make it auto balance itself when it goes offroad or on rough terrain.
One sick hexapod.

Ah, I missed that! I see where he explains.
Zenta, you did a fantastic job cutting the parts. It looks machine cut!
Very nice custom project indeed!
Wow,now thats a nice robot 
How long have you been doing robotics for now? It can’t be your first time 
What kind of Servo’s are you using? BWT Very good jod with the hand cutting,I love the design.
It looks laser cut 
Hi!
The coxa aluminium parts are milled with a XYZ drilling machine.
-Zenta
I believe they are 645s.
But he also mentioned something about 475’s,so I’m kinda comfused 
Hi!
Last Q first:
I’m using Hitec 645 servos for the femur and tibia and 475 in the coxa.
Robotics has fascinated me since I was a little boy. (I’m now 34…) I built my first hexapod robot last year. I used cable chain for housing the servos. It was extremely strong but too heavy!! 
And the legs didn’t have the same flexibility.
Here is a picture of my first hexapod:

hehe a bit funny looking. 
-Zenta
Its not funny looking,It reminds me of Lynxmotion 
Wow, do you also hand cut all those parts?
bot your hex’s are awesome, got any vids of ur first one?
Femur, tibia, coxa? oO’’ Huh? They don’t teach us these things in school anymore.
34? Cool! Got one of them slaves, erm, wives yet? =P
Your first hexapod is very cute also Ditto with wowy. Looks a lot like lynxmotion ones (but dare I say, cooler). Very nice work.
Do you have any fancy expensive pieces of paper? If so, what major(s). You seem to know quite a bit about hexapods.
P.S. Chunga, guess who i’m mad at? 
:twisted::evil:
Hi Chunga!
No i did not hand cut all those parts. As I told I used cable chain links. I milled a lot of custom plasticparts to fasten servo into the cable chain links. Here is a closer picture of the old and new leg:

My first idea of using cable chains was to make a snake…
But I didn’t complete that project.
Sorry I don’t have any video of the old hex.
Coxa Femur Tibia and Tars are the name of the leg parts, check wikipedia:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Ant_worker_morphology_corrected.svg
I don’t see any chain links in that image. =/
Ahhh, thanks! Ants look cuter in real life though 
what ever happend to Hip,ankle and knee?
Arw you kidding? Very technical! looks real cool, that you decided to build custome parts for your robots needs. Very cool!
I wish i had such a talent,I’m not really good with mechanical stuff,I’m more of a programming kinda person.
i hope you dont mind zenta, i borrowed the pic and circled the links to help robodude out

this was brillant, now you dont have to build the axis, they are already built in
robo the first cirle (hip joint/coaxa) probably makes it the clearest, its a link that has been chopped in half and only has 1 side to it , get it now?
I still see no chains…
P.S. I’m still mad at you chunky chunga.
