Overview

18-servo hexapod on a printed hexagonal body; every part as editable parametric CAD, with the ripple-gait sketch.

Six legs, three MG996R servos each (coxa, femur, tibia), on a hexagonal body printed in two halves. An Arduino Mega on a printed tray drives all 18 servos from one sketch: a six-phase ripple gait, straight ahead, no turning or remote control.

Parts

All eleven printed parts are parametric CadQuery scripts, each within 0.03 mm mean deviation of the published STL. Servo cases, horns and the Mega board are included as nominal envelopes.

Part Qty Part Qty
leg_mount 6 base_1, base_2 1 each
coxa 6 mounting_post 2
femur 6 mega_mount, top_cover 1 each
tibia 6 hat_1, hat_2 1 each
