http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:468872 with replications on different 3D printers + latest STL file updates!This Spider Rover can be simply clicked together with one and the same
lock washer type. No screws required. Just in case you want to do more
extensive research with it, you can add a motor. Pulley is in the files. The silver spider rover is 50% scaled down (not motorized), which needs the different named worm_gear_scaling.stl.Be adviced that you have to be good in what you are doing when you start scaling down below 80% or if you add a motor to get it walking!Printed on Ultimaker²Used UM2 Cura 14.07 settings:QualityLayer height (mm): 0.1 Shell thickness (mm): 0.3Enable retraction: yesFillBottom/top thickness(mm): 1Fill Density (%): 100Speed and TemperaturPrint speed (mm/s): 50Support type: None Platform adhesion type: None (e.g. leg_shoulder.stl could require Brim)MachineNozzle size(mm): 0.3 (yes 0.3 - you can check gcode with Repetier-Host)QualityInitial layer thickness (mm): 0.3 (shows yellow)Initial layer line with (%): 100Cut off object bottom (mm): 0.0Dual extrusion overlap (mm): 0.15SpeedTravel speed (mm/s): 150.0Bottom layer speed (mm/s): 20Infill speed (mm/s): 80.0Outer shell speed (mm/s): 50.0Inner shell speed (mm/s): 70.0CoolMinimal layer time (sec): 5Enable cooling fan: yesOccured problems: UM2 feeder underextrusion through moved hobbedpulley to the outer side on the motor shaft.

Last step of filament change has to give you a hard powerful knocking sound when new filamentis coming out of the nozzle (before you then select PLA/ABS type)Scaling: For example crazy 50% - It's easier to scale all leg_pins_..stl to 0.48 for X/Y and Z=0.5 instead doing sanding. For 1:1 no sanding is required !If you really have to do sanding - use a common nail file.

If you want to build in a motor you need to add ball bearings for the worm gear.
I'm open to suggestions for motor and ball bearing types. The middle plate might therefore be added with different mounts.
From the uploaded pictures you will see
used ball bearings 14x8x4mm. Motor is 1:50 gear motor IGARASHI TYP 20G-50.
It's slow but i runs with 2x 9V/109mA solar cells.

As i wrote it's not that easy. I gave it 15 minutes "burn in", powered externally to remove the edges. It's currently running slow because the wormgear and then additional a gear motor. This combination brings it down to maybe 30 cm / minute but driving with solar cells. It would make sense to use a direct aproach and e.g. use a GroPro Accu with some juice behind it. I'm not that kind of experienced in this things.

Is there any video of the walking action? This is all done by a single motor? Very cool.
