Strandbeest

Full credit should go to @Snelon for a really great model! I spent some time scratching my head and reading through comments trying to figure out how many of what i needed in order to print my own, and thought I'd save the next person some trouble.

These are the three build plates I used; One for the Complete frame, one for the complete camshaft, and one for a single leg assembly. You will need 10 leg assemblies to complete the model.

Update 10.11.18
Propeller - New part, totally non-functional :)

Updates 10.7.18
Camshaft - Added clips to and tightened up the tolerances a little. It should now snap fit snugly without glue.

Leg Assembly - The legs work a little more cleanly with only two spanners from each leg to the camshaft (instead of 4), so the extra parts have been removed. To support this change 2 new spacer sizes have been introduced.

Enjoy!
