Legs n Magnets
Added 2017-04-11 05:31:12 +0000 UTCHere we are, two sets of printed legs with 10 x 5mm magnets installed. Assembly and fit is really nice, please with the whole piece. Finish and painting next (and onwards to the design. Excited about looking at the drive system. Can I print it all in ABS (or PETG), nylon and ninjaflex. I think I can.....

Hiya, I've added a "smallcut" folder in the leg folders, with the large shoulder files cut (I've added a dovetail) give it a try and let me know.

2017-04-11 19:16:50 +0000 UTCThanks. My printer is basically standard Makerbot size, so just cutting it in half from top to bottom would be fine. I could cut it myself, but I would think it would be too large for the average printer, so presumably others would find it useful to have a smaller version as well.

2017-04-11 08:03:06 +0000 UTCSo I'm trying to get back into building my R2 after a bit of a hiatus over the winter. I have one leg essentially finished using the old design, including sanding and priming, but have only printed some of the second leg (and have sort of lost track of what I still need to print, which is a problem). I'm wondering if I should just start over and use the second version of the leg instead since it looks much easier. But I have one question: are you able to print the entire top shoulder model in one go on your printer? It's much too large for my print bed.
