This is a simplified version of Theo Jansen's iconic Strandbeest kinetic sculpture/creature. Most of the 3D printable Strandbeest models I've seen involve a bajillion pieces, but this version simplifies things by 1) having the leg assemblies mostly print-in-place pre-assembled, and 2) replacing a complex crankshaft assembly with a geared drive system. The gears aren't quite in keeping with the original Strandbeest aesthetic, but they sure are easier to assemble. This model is also fairly modular in that you can add as many leg units as you like, and you can use it with the motor drive (as shown), or there are also parts for just hand cranking the legs with a knob. If printing the motorized version shown you will need the following additional parts:1 motor (https://www.amazon.com/Driver-Engine-HN-GH12-1035Y-Motor-Reduction/dp/B0CFZ9KYKJ)1 battery box (https://www.pololu.com/product/1152)3 AA batteries PrintingAll parts are printed in PLA with 0.2mm layers, 3 perimeters and 1
