Hexapod Spider Robot

Spiderbot STLs: 3D-Printed Hexapod Spider Robot Build Guide Star it on GitHub Follow Spider Robot build tutorials Introduction

This repository contains STL files, 3D printing instructions, and build documentation for SpiderBot, a 3D-printed spider robot. Here you'll find all you need to build your own SpiderBot, whether you're a beginner or an experienced robotics enthusiast. Acknowledgments While the MakeYourPet project served as an initial inspiration, the 3D parts used in this Hexapod Spiderbot Model are not from their official designs. Special credit goes to 'amelendez8', a Discord server user from MakeYourPet's community. I have adapted and modified his design for the purpose of this project. You can find his original work here. Disclaimer This project is intended for educational purposes. Please exercise caution and read all safety guidelines when working with electronics and 3D printers. We are not responsible for any damage caused during the build. Pre-requisites - 3D printer with PLA filament - Basic knowledge of electronics - Soldering kit - [Optional] CAD software like Fusion 360 for customization
