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. Followed by slight ticking sound.Moved hobbed pulley back about 2.5mm. 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.

Technical

Printed in PLA 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. 1x deck_base.stl 1x deck_bottom.stl 1x deck_middle.stl 1x deck_top.stl 6x leg_arm_bottom.stl 12x leg_arm_middle.stl 12x leg_arm_upper.stl 6x leg_control_al50_delta-30_r1_s1.5.stl 6x leg_gear.stl 6x leg_gear_washer.stl 6x leg_pin_bottom.stl 6x leg_pin_middle.stl 12x leg_pin_upper_middle.stl 6x leg_shell_big.stl 12x leg_shell_small.stl 6x leg_shoulder.stl 76x lock_washer.stl 1x optional_motor_belt_pulley.stl (only for motor) 1x worm_gear.stl (not scale, motor) or 1x worm_gear_scaling.stl (small scaling) 1x deck_bottom_worm_gear.stl (bearing, motor) or 1x deck_bottom_worm_gear_dummy.stl (no bearing, no motor)

I only see STL files. None of the original design documents that the STL was exported from.

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.
