Whirligig - Running ManThis is my first iteration of this Whirligig, it's functional but plan to spend some time tweaking it to get it running reliably outdoors. I printed spacers to make the legs about twice as wide and the arms so the pull-strings/wires don't collide. Wire size 24 Gauge worked well for arms and legs attachment to the crank (green enameled floral wire), attach to the crank first then to the arms/legs. Several non-printed hardware items are required: small bolts for arms and legs, small screws for the crank holders, rods for the crank (4.4mm dia) and mounting adapter (6.9mm dia hole) and man torso to chassis (~3mm dia), and for the tail extension (7.8mm fiberglass rod). Reduce rod diameters by about 0.2mm for clearance. files:WG_Chassis3: the main whirligig body that everything attaches to.
