Triceratops Automata

 

Have been looking for a Triceratops Automata print for the kids and am wondering if anyone has seen that available.

Thank you and best to all.

Hello and welcome to the Prusaforum!

What do you mean by "Triceratops Automata"?

There is a lot to find on Thingiverse about Triceratops print templates: https://www.thingiverse.com/tag:triceratops

Statt zu klagen, dass wir nicht alles haben, was wir wollen, sollten wir lieber dankbar sein, dass wir nicht alles bekommen, was wir verdienen.

A walking Triceratops by turning a handle and gears make it walk.

Thank you.

That's ... a big project.

Walking robots are difficult enough to make but realistic four-legged motion is even harder.  Clockwork, or simple mechanical motion cannot easily compensate for dynamic balance so six or eight legs are normal, here is one I made earlier:

OK, that one is electrically powered but it could be clockwork and Jensen's originals are wind powered.

For more realistic motion you need sophisticated robotic controls with sensor feedback and predictive programming.

But the limit on toy triceratops is probably something like:

I fear the best you can do for the moment is pick one from the link @karl-herbert gave and add wheels; after that you start designing and I hope to see you prove me wrong in a little while.

Hth, Cheerio,
