3D Printed WALL·E
Description
- Each eye can be raised and lowered independently with servo motors. - There is room in each eye to add a small camera. - The head can look left and right using a servo motor. - The neck is actuated at two joints, allowing the head to look up/down and to be raised/lowered. - Each arm has a motor at the shoulder to move it up/down. - The arms consist of pressure fit joints, hands and fingers, which can be manually posed. - The tank treads (skid steering) are fully 3D printed and can be powered using two 12V DC geared motors. That’s right! It’s finally time for Wall-E. This is a semi-functional Wall-E Robot that I created in Tinkercad, printed out on my Robo3D and painted by my wife using spray painting, airbrush painting and brush painting techniques. I have links to the files for Wall-E listed below. Please note that there are two versions of some files. These are basically for the electronic and non electronic versions. The only two files with multiple versions are the neck files and the leg bracket files. These files have “Non Electric” in the file name so they’re easy to spot. In the electronic version of Wall-E there are 43 individual files, 84 main parts, 72 treads, and 144 pins needed. So that's a total of 300 individual parts that need to be printed. This is a list of the electronics components that I used. However, be aware that the DC motors I chose to drive Wall-E DO NOT work. They don’t have enough torque to drive him. So if you want to try to make this robot work, you’ll either need to redesign the legs/wheel mounts, or you’ll need to find a really high torque motor that is in a micro servo casing. The mounts I have built in fit micro servos specifically and it would be difficult to fit any other sized motors here.
