This is a mm scale model of Theo Jansen's Strandbeests suitable for printing with RepRap 3D printers - a work in progress. Update April 2012: Finally, I finished a six-pairs-of-legs blue specimen for the show at ŠKUC gallery. It walks if you push it around the carpet! A 2m PVC electrician tube is provided to make this more comfortable. :) Rotating joins between printed parts are made with 3mm plastic filament, melted a little into a ball on each side. That works so well I only wish it could be used ...
