Afinia/Up-Printable Strandbeest
Source: Thingiverse by JuliaTruchsess
The Afinia/Up-Printable Strandbeest is a free printable 3D model from Thingiverse by JuliaTruchsess. After some tweaking of GolanHertz's original model (converted to STL's by cyclone) I've arrived at a version of this which is assemble-able and reasonably robust. You can download the STL file from the original listing below and print it at home.
About this model
After some tweaking of GolanHertz's original model (converted to STL's by cyclone) I've arrived at a version of this which is assemble-able and reasonably robust. My motivations were to honor the genius of Theo Jansen and to disprove cyclone's assertion that the model is unprintable :) It's never going to walk very well due to the floppiness of the crankpins (see the last photo) but the mechanism does work, it was a good printing challenge, and the end result is a great sculpture. See the "Instructions" tab for details.
