Easy Strandbeest

This wind-driven version of Theo Jansen's Strandbeest is considerably simpler than most of the designs posted, using only 4 basic parts for the body of the beest. The first simplification is that the leg units print-in-place, pre-assembled. The second is that the crankshaft prints as a single, monolithic unit. Add 2 end pieces and connection rods on the side and you have yourself a Strandbeest! This version is actually wind driven. In the animations shown, it is driven with a table fan on its LOW setting (I'm guessing maybe a 15mph breeze?). You have your option of chasing it around with a fan as it walks across your desk, or you can set it in the provided stand as a piece of kinetic art. PrintingPrinting is fairly straightforward. I recommend PLA for its stiffness and yield strength. The only areas that needs supports are the overhanging shafts on the crankshaft part. The other thing I changed from the standard settings is to slow down the print speed of the small perimeters s
