About this model
This is a miniature Strandbeest. The original strandbeests were designed by Theo Jansen, and were made from PVC pipe. I printed mine with PLA, but ABS or PETG might be better because this design snaps together using flexible clips. This is in the Creative Commons Public Domain, so feel free to modify/improve this and re-upload it. You might have trouble with sticky joints, so be prepared to remove some material (I just used a pocket knife). IMPORTANT INFO: Scale all parts to 1000%. I made this using Autodesk Inventor, which is kind funny with .STL files. Leave any questions you have in the comments; I am happy to help out. I will upload more detailed instructions as soon as I can, but school keeps me quite busy. Good Luck!
