The Humble Velocipede #3DThursday #3DPrinting
by Jessie Mae
Danowall shared this project on Thingvierse!
The Humble Velocipede is a playful desktop toy designed to scuttle over countertops and coffee tables. The design of this toy was inspired by Theo Jansen’s Strandbeest creatures, and combines 3D printing with some custom hardware to put the beauty of Jansen’s walking mechanism in your hands.
If you don’t own a printer you can have these parts printed for you locally through 3DHubs.com

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
