Turt - Mechanical toy

prusaprinters

<p>Here you have a mechanical toy with a lot of personality. Turt has no less than 6 animated parts. When you move him around the four legs moves in a walkning pattern, the tail turns a little and the head moves forward and back. Underneath four wheels moves all the mechanisms.</p><p>The toy consist of 4 separate parts that are easily assembled. Please see the video to see how. Be aware that the head should come out of the hole which has straight edges. By default Turt can be driven around on rough surfaces, like a table cloth. If you add four 17x1.9mm OD o-rings to the wheels, it works perfectly on all kinds of surfaces.</p><p>You can print tires in TPU or use o-rings like these: <a href="https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000201736342.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.6b244c4dQHU0wi">https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000201736342.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.6b244c4dQHU0wi</a></p><p>While every part is finetuned a lot through many iterations, your printer should be well maintained and optimized. The result may not be that great, if you have trouble with bad bed adhesion or stringing. It may be a good idea to use a gluestick on the print bed and enable z-hop in the slicer.</p><p>The wheels have very little surface that touches the bed, but if the bed adhesion is good, they are easily printable. You may want to smoort out the wheels a little, if you do not add o-ring tires to the wheels.</p><p>Assembly guide:<br><a href="https://youtu.be/pkaWHSF2gpk">https://youtu.be/pkaWHSF2gpk</a></p><p>If you like this, you may also like some of my other models:<br><a href="https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/cute-cars-hippo">https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/cute-cars-hippo</a><br><a href="https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/art/cute-cars-giraffe">https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/art/cute-cars-giraffe</a><br><a href="https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/cute-cars-funny-bunny-bus">https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/cute-cars-funny-bunny-bus</a></p><p>Have fun!</p>
