I was able to finish the two feet up to the point that the scooter motors and wheels are ready to be attached, however it took a few weeks longer than I would have liked. I was using a portable band saw to cut the pieces for the feet when the capacitor in it blew out:
Sadly the magic smoke escaped from it through the pictured crack thus ending my cutting for the day. I had most of the pieces of the first foot as shown in my previous post, but I had to wait to get a new one shipped to replace the capacitor before I could cut the pieces for the second. Well, I didn’t HAVE to wait, but cutting the 3mm thick plastic with a box cutter isn’t very easy or fun, haha.
Once I did get the replacement capacitor and the prints for the second foot a week or two later I finished up the cuts and assembled the second foot. Below you can see a stack of the cut parts for the second foot.
I also just about finished the shoulder hubs. In the below photo taken from directly above you can see that the circles weren’t perfect so I had to use a dremel to grind it down until they were the same size. You can see the top hub has already been done in this picture and the lower hub was about to be done. I was surprised just how far off some of my cuts were, but at the same time I’m really free handing a lot of these with only the paper template or sometimes a pencil outline to go by.
Below are the two feet ready to have the scooter motors and wheels added. At this point I have the hubs, horseshoes, legs, and feet all just about ready for attachment to the main body. I’ll need to take some time to make sure I understand how everything assembles, but so far it’s looking like with some effort it may be driving by the end of the summer!
