About this 3D model

This is a MakerBotable kit to modify a RoboNova-1 and add another DOF so the legs can pronate and supanate while keeping the height of the RoboNova-1 very nearly the same as the original 30cm height ... and this allows for the c.g. to remain lower for more stability. I upgraded the servo drive horn with splines on the inside bore ... albiet I don't have a caliper that small ... I'll can only eye-ball and guess. This kit will make your RoboNova-1 slightly wider and thicker, but even side-by-side they appear very much the same size. And as usual, every part here is designed to be MakerBotable with a CupCake MakerBot ... except for the rubber band ... get one from your local post office!I wish I had a MakerBot to actually build and test my creations!See a video demonstrating the added value and size comparisons.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgHBmt8g67wor see the animated .GIFhttp://www.brainless.org/MultiMedia/Pictures/SW-Portfolio/MultiMedia/SwivelHipsNova-1+RoboNova-1.gifI plan on uploading the aluminum bracket SolidWorks .SLDPRT files to the 3D Content Central Library soon ...http://www.3dcontentcentral.com/Search.aspx?arg=wperko This is another of many entries to the makezine.com/go/makerbot contest ...blog.makezine.com/archive/2010/04/makerbot_giveaway.html
