Cart Pulling Robot
by Thingiverse
Last crawled date: 4 years, 2 months ago
This is another walking toy design. This one pulls a cart and uses a similar construction as a previous design I did.https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4020131
It has a kind of steam punk look with a wooden cart and boiler.
The pivots are made from T-pins I bought at Wal_Mart. They have a 1 mm diameter. The motor is a commonly available 6V 100 rpm N20 gearmotor powered by a 150 mah lipo. The batteries were purcased from Banggood and came with a charger and the small jumper cables. You need to use one of the charging cables to hook the battery to the motor through the switch. The switch is from a tea light. The battery is just stuffed in the boiler. The switch is on top of the boiler. You can access the connector for the battery to recharge it by removing the back of the boiler which is held on by a screw.
Parts:
6V 100 rpm N20 gearmotor
1/8 inch or 3mm dia X 32 mm long rod. I used 1/8 inch brass brazing rod.
2mm X 8mm self tapping screw
150 mah lipo and connectorhttps://www.banggood.com/5PCS-Eachine-E010-3_7V-150mAh-Battery-RC-Quadcopter-Spares-Parts-p-1081736.html?rmmds=myorder&cur_warehouse=CN
switch from a tea light
1mm diameter T-pins
heat shrink tubing
super glue and hot glue
Build notes:
Make sure to remove all burrs, bumps and anything else that might interfere with free movement. I use a small rat tailed file for inside holes and gear teeth, but a hobby knife would work. A sheet of 200 grit sandpaper on a flat surface works for flat parts. A nail file board also works well. There are several 3d printed threaded parts. The internal threads should be cleaned out with a 6mm X 1mm tap. If you don't have a tap you may be able to use a 6mm bolt with a groove dremeled into it. I haven't had to use a die to clean up the external threads. Run a tap through the threaded holes in the frame and cart.
It's best to first wire the motor up with the switch and battery so you can test run it at every stage of assembly. You need the connector on the charger jumper so you can wire it to the switch and motor. Make sure you use heat shrink tubing to avoid shorts. These little batteries have a lot of energy in them and shorting them could cause a fire.
After you get the wiring done, put the motor gear on the motor. If it's loose, it will still work but you can use a drop of hot glue if you like. Then slide the motor into the frame from the shaft side.
The gear and crank assembly is built around an 1/8 inch brass rod but a 3 mm would probably work. The length should about 32 mm. I was able to mount the shaft gear and cranks by driving the rod through them with a small hammer. A block of wood with a hole just a little larger than the shaft diameter will allow you to lay the gear or crank on the block and drive the shaft through it. You may have to use a drill if the holes are too small or super glue if they are too big. The cranks have a line on them. The line goes to the outside and the cranks should be lined up with one crank pointing up and the other crank pointing down so the toy will walk. When your finished there should be a little clearance between the crank and the frame on each side. There should also be clearance between the shaft gear and the frame. The shaft should rotate freely. Use a 2mm X 8mm screw to mount the clamp to the frame. Check the shaft for binding. Now you can slide the motor up until the gears mesh. Turn on the motor and adjust it's position until it's running free without skipping teeth. A little hot glue may help hold this position.
All the screws used in the build are 2 mm X 8 mm. The screws mount the main body and arms to the frame. Another screw is used to hold the motor clamp part to the frame. The clamp holds the shaft, crank, gear assembly in place. There are 4 screws holding the boiler to the cart. They go through the pedestals. The arms use hex pins to key them to the main body. The hex pins are super glued to the arms. After the arms are mounted to the main body they are connected to the cart with 2 more screws. The square hole in front of the boiler allows the switch to be passed through into the boiler. There is a one layer sacrificial bridge in the hole that needs to be cut away with a hobby knife.
The T-pins used for the pivots are held by friction to the parts upper_legs and foot. The mating holes are designed with more clearance so the pins pivot freely. After inserting the pins through the parts they are cut off flush with side cutters. The pictures at the end of the video show the assembly sequence.
The 3 parts of the head are super glued together and then to the main body.
Print instruction:
The parts with a _X2 on the end of the filename require 2 copies be printed for the build. All the other parts only need 1 copy. The boiler back cover needs supports. All the small threaded parts, cranks and gears are printed with 100% infill. The rest use 20%. I sliced it with Cura 4.4 so you can use per model settings to print the whole thing at once. I printed it at .15mm layer height.
Here's a video of the toy with some details. The video has a lot of assembly photos at the end.https://youtu.be/JD8gFildHE0
If I missed a file or some other detail, let me know and I'll try to fix it.
Good luck,
Rick
