Hello everyone!

Here is a presentation video of Spidey, an open-source robotics platform you can make with 3D printers and ROBOTIS parts:

 

BTW, the "gold" robot on this video was printed with an Ultimaker²

Do not hesitate to ask if you want to make the same bot yourself and you have questions

    Great work!!!

    Very fast compared to others I saw.

    The customizeable leg quantity is als great. Do you think it's convertable into an ant-like design too??

    You mean with an articulated body?

    That would be doable, are you familiar with OpenSCAD or Autodesk?

    Yes, that's what I mean.

    @OpenSCAD & AutoCAD: Unfortunately not - just SolidWorks.

    Beside the body, my concern is mainly if the steerability would be affected as the position of the legs will change a bit...

    In this case you could re-design just the body using SolidWorks, there is PDF drawings that may help you in the repo

    We already made such articulated robots, like this one:

    f-gecky5387014c001693b4.png

    Which is not fully released, but can be already found as "gecky" in the repo sources

    The code should be adjusted but it appear to work

    :-) thanks for the info.

    Hope to find time to built one as I love to have it im my RC collection.

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.

      • Ultimaker Cura 5.6 stable released
        Cura now supports Method series printers!
         
        A year after the merger of Ultimaker and MakerBotQQ, we have unlocked the ability for users of our Method series printers to slice files using UltiMaker Cura. As of this release, users can find profiles for our Method and Method XL printers, as well as material profiles for ABS-R, ABS-CF, and RapidRinse. Meaning it’s now possible to use either Cura or the existing cloud-slicing software CloudPrint when printing with these printers or materials
