MakerHQ CuzBot

thingiverse

This is Cuzbot, a robot designed with eleven movable parts. He should be 3D printed without the need for additional support structures, as I've already incorporated necessary reinforcements into his design. Currently, Cuzbot serves as an ambassador for MakerHQ.org, a newly established nonprofit makerspace in Sacramento, California. We invite you to join and support our initiative if possible. If you're a member, I'd be happy to customize the company name and logo on his back; however, please note that you'll need to print your own Cuzbot model. It's worth mentioning that the inner support for Cuzbot's upper arm can be quite stiff, so apply gentle pressure in a circular motion to break it loose. Note: I've updated the file with my latest design iteration, which is optimized for better compatibility with various 3D printers. Unfortunately, some users may have experienced issues with older filament; try printing again with the new version if you encounter any difficulties. Designing Cuzbot was a complex task that required careful consideration of his movable parts. With over 400 lines of code in OpenSCAD, I encountered significant challenges in designing joints with minimal play. To overcome this issue, I simplified my code due to limitations in OpenSCAD's handling of multiple 'difference()' layers.
