This Crankshaft Kit contains only the essential components you need to build your own Humble Velocipede.
CRANKSHAFT (x1)- The crankshaft is made from a single steel rod bent into a resilient core which is responsible for coordinating the movement of all the legs. The crankshaft is normally partially obscured by ligaments in an assembled model, but is also a beautiful object all on its own.
HIP SHAFTS (x2) - The hip shafts act as pivot points for all the legs and are made from hardened steel that will hold up to extensive use over time.
JOINT PINS (x40) - These pins act as joints for the machine, providing strong and low-friction connection points between the ligaments and the legs. Each kit comes with a couple extras thrown in just in case.
By the numbers
One Humble Velocipede consists of 86 printed parts and 43 non-printed parts for a total of 129 individual parts. The rigid skeleton that holds the machine together is composed of 9 elements, while the other 120 parts form the legs and walking mechanism, all driven by the central crankshaft. Of the printed parts, there are 9 unique shapes that, when assembled, form 61 moving pieces.
But that's enough of that, let's get to printing!
