Today was a bit of a meditative day. I started early with a 3d print to get the rest of the parts I need to build the complete RHex prototype. Unfortunately, I forgot to enable supports, which I noticed a few hours later, so that print had to be restarted.
The good news is that I then remembered to print two toolholders for the late chucks, as well as 2 legs for the RHex. And, then I realized that the Ultimaker Extended + can sing!
Other than that, I mounted together the complete leg bearing house with all parts, and it seems like that will work. Also mounted the aluminium tubes and one side part and that seems to work as well. Forgot to take a picture, though. So next time!
Lesson learned: 3d printing with a 0.8mm nozle really isn’t for those super-accurate parts.
I also made a rendering of the latest version of the design.
