Summary

Inspired by Theo Jansen's "Strandbeest", this is a leg mechanism of the sand walker. Be sure to check out the pictures and instructions I've included for how to assemble it.

Instructions

Bill of Materials:

1 x 120
1 x 572
2 x 450
4 x 275
4 x 290
10 x 400
28 (ish) x link pin cap
Lots of links

These should be, for the most part, able to snap together. There will be a bit of figuring out how to best put everything together, as far as layering and links goes, but that's the fun part!

Note that the "120" piece is the "crank". The best way to get this to work is to place the "572" piece on the ground and work around that. "120" actually is 1.2", so keep that in mind when printing.

Comments and suggestions are welcome. Keep in mind this is a work in progress...enjoy!
