3D Printed BugBots – Instruction Manual
***Disclaimer – 3D Print It will not be liable for personal injury resulting from negligent use of this product. Please use the 3D Printed BugBot with care and do not cause harm to others. Do not distribute the 3D Printed STL files. The files that you have bought are for your personal use only.
****IMPORTANT**** The files were designed to be printed in ABS plastic. Printing the files in other types of 3D printed material may cause the pieces not to fit correctly and lead to you getting seriously frustrated. Please use the following settings to ensure that the 3D printed parts fit together.
All parts were printed on an Up Plus 2 printer: - Material: ABS plastic - Surface Layers: 3 layers - Density / Fill: The more solid the infill the stronger the parts - Z Resolution: 0.15mm
****IMPORTANT**** So What Do I Print? (Parts for BugBots)
1x AA_BugBot_Motor_Housing.stl 1x AA_ BugBot _Bristles.stl 1x AA_ BugBot _Cover.stl
Things you will need to purchase / equipment that you might already have
1 x AA 1.5V Battery Box Case Storage Clip In 1 Cell Holder With Wire 1 x AA battery (The re-chargeable AA Energizer batteries are the way to go) 1 x Soldering Iron + Solder 1 x Tweezers (To hold the wires when soldering) 1 x DC 3V 5200RPM Electric Mini Vibration Motor Blu-Tack WD-40 (Make sure you grease up the DC Motor ball bearings before using them to avoid a horrible screeching noise coming from the motors!)
Which Way Do I Print The 3D Models? 1 x AA_BugBot_Motor_Housing.stl
1 x AA_BugBot_Bristles.stl (The bristles will be weak but it’s necessary for movement)
1 x AA_BugBot_Cover.stl
How Do I Assemble The BugBot? Follow the step by step pictures once you have printed out all of your parts
Spray your DC Motor with WD-40 (You will regret it if you don’t. The motor will screech like a banshee)
Add the ‘AA 1.5V Battery Box Case’ to the ‘AA_BugBot_Motor_Housing.stl’
Add in the ‘DC 3V 5200RPM Electric Mini Vibration Motor’
Cut the wires so that they just reach the positive and negative motor leads
Solder the wires onto the motor
Add Blu-Tack to the AA_BugBot_Bristles.stl
Add the AA_BugBot_Bristles.stl onto the AA_BugBot_Motor_Housing.stl
AA_BugBot_Cover.stl
Add Blu-Tack to the AA_BugBot_Cover.stl
Add the re-chargeable AA battery
Insert the AA_BugBot_Motor_Housing.stl into the AA_BugBot_Cover.stl (Don’t push down on the bristles they are fragile push down on the sides of the bristles)
All done!
