This kit contains the necessary connector parts that go into building a Humble Velocipede. It complements the Crankshaft Kit and provides all the 3D printed connectors that cannot be easily laser cut.
The Humble Velocipede is a playful desktop toy designed to scuttle over countertops and coffee tables. Highly recommended as a starter project for 3d printing! The parts are designed to print efficiently on FDM machines and then assembled into a mesmerizing walking creature.
The Ligaments Kit has all the 3D printed connectors that you need. The connectors all have anatomical-inspired names based on the ligaments of the knee.
Included in this kit you will find x10 of each ligament:
Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL)
Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL)
Anterior Collateral Ligament (ACL)
Posterior Collateral Ligament (PCL)
Note: Mechanical components not included! You’ll need the Crankshaft Kit and some other 3D printed parts to fully assemble this little beastie.
3D files for use with this kit are available for free here!
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
