New files & instructions: DrinksBot BR-2U
Added 2021-04-24 16:03:55 +0000 UTCHere's the latest addition to the MicroDroid series, the BR-2U, drink bot!. This is a track droid which can carry two drink cans and has a deployment mechanism including opening doors and lifting the cans! It also fits any of the Baby Astromechs, for customisation, features steering arms, dome turning as well as the can mech. I will be adding many custom greebles and as always, share the fusion files for those wishing to create there own unique version.
If you've not seen this fella in action, here's a link to the youtube video.

Awesome, I know many of your files don't require supports Is this true also for the very large files in this build? For example like the main body has a split version and then there's a full all-in-one version. Could you print the large version without supports? Also are the STL files already pre-oriented to optimal positions or should we optimize it further when we open it up in our slicer? Thanks in advance and awesome project

2025-04-14 22:18:03 +0000 UTCIf I print the body using the file that has all the separate pieces, what do I use to put them together? I see all the holes in the pieces but what would you recommend?

2024-12-10 18:10:06 +0000 UTCI have the same problem. I can't seem to find the files.

2023-10-15 14:37:17 +0000 UTCWhat wall and infill settings would you recommend for a Prusa mk3s for the main frames, this bot looks amazing, I can't wait to print it.

2021-10-24 22:23:53 +0000 UTCHi, just looking through the parts needed for when I put it all together. Do we need 4 of the MG996R servos as the list only says 2. Do you need 2 for the can lift and another 2 for the steering arms of the droid?

2021-10-23 13:44:38 +0000 UTCHence the large files, you can export on defaults and you’ll get the 11mb file. The file size differs depending on the model surface. Green top is complex with lots of curves.

2021-05-01 07:13:54 +0000 UTCDepends on the export settings on Fusion, I’ve turned mine up high so the guys printing in Resin get a clean print without any flat ‘triangular’ surfaces, I tend to export at high resolution now as standard as printers improve.

2021-05-01 07:12:38 +0000 UTCI have downloaded all the files but there appears to be a problem with one of the Greeble files. GreebleTop.stl downloads as a 520MB file!! I created this stl file from the Fusion 360 files and it seems fine at 11MB. Puzzling.

2021-05-01 06:38:46 +0000 UTCThanks for your prompt reply. At the moment I am just thinking ahead. I will be using the standard MG996R so I will wait until it is built and then play around with the servo horn lever if required. Thanks.
Dr David Edley
2021-04-30 13:14:47 +0000 UTCIt’s set to work with the standard MG996R, you raise a good point I hadn’t considered though. It’s a direct link so there isn’t a way of independently controlling the Max / Min limits. There’s two options I can immediately think of, firstly running the arms on another channel and using channel mixing on the remote, which would give independence but still automatic animation. Also the servo horn (round part which glues on), I could do a couple of versions which give a small, medium (current) and larger movement by the length of the lever. Are you having specific issues or thinking ahead?

2021-04-30 05:06:27 +0000 UTCHi. I am in the process of building this model. I think I understand the way the ESC and the arm servo mix works from the RC controller but I can't see how to set up the end limits on the servo movements without also altering the output to the ESC. Thanks Dave

2021-04-26 15:58:34 +0000 UTCI can't tell from the instructions, do you want the pololu 4843 or 3203 motors?
