robothut Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 I will start off with some build info and pictures then add the video links. Here you can see the parts that make up the passive walking mechanics. I printed the parts in different colors to make it easy to see the parts. Also I did not have enough of any one color filament left to do it any other way. There is a LEft and Right leg. Each leg has front detail part that gets glued on. Each leg has a crown gear and a hole for the single 1/8 inch "3.1mm" axel. The main frame is the dark red color and has 2 pinon gears attached with nails so they can freely turn but not fall off. The black side covers get glued on at the top and hold the assembly together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robothut Posted March 8, 2022 Author Share Posted March 8, 2022 I am using the 1:48 TT gear motor. It will be running on a single AA battery. There are 2 wheels with rubber O rings for traction. The wheels fit the "D" shafts and are held on with #2 taping screws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robothut Posted March 8, 2022 Author Share Posted March 8, 2022 The sides of the cart bucket get glued to the cart base. Also I wired the motor and switch up. The switch mounts to the back of the cart bucket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robothut Posted March 8, 2022 Author Share Posted March 8, 2022 The modified Drone body gets glued to the passive walking mechanical legs that I already assemble in step 1. My thought was since in the movie Silent Running they had different attachments for the drones why not a set of walking legs and new arms .
