I Redesigned My Hexapod In Fusion 360

Ғылым және технология

Check out the Ankermake M5 Here! ankermake.club/V8111KSe6
I'm building an Arduino powered hexapod from scratch, and in this video I re-design the entire thing in Fusion360. I also print all of it on the new Ankermake M5 3d Printer!
I always knew I’d have to transition from blender to an actual CAD program. I finally bit the bullet and actually did it! I took this opportunity to redesign the entire hexapod, and I am extremely happy with the result.
With the brand-new hexapod design ready to go, I needed to print it! The sponsor of this video, AnkerMake, sent me their new printer to bring my new design into reality.
Next video will be on making this new design move! As cool as it is now, just wait until the electronics are in.

    Hey, like your video. Since the first day of using Fusion i love it. It is not perfect however for prototyping and hobbyists like us it is perfect + it has extensions for manufacturing. I come from a aerospace engineering backround and we design everything from a master model. I also recommend the use of assemblies and even subassemblies and also i would add a assembly which contains only fasteners, bearings etc..and last but not least dont forget to give your parts a practical name. Dont just leave them as body1 or part1.

    Are all of the hexapod legs the same as the one modeled? If so, you can use a circular pattern and pattern the "leg" component around the center axis so that 5 other copies are created for the other legs. The nice part is that all of the legs should update properly when changing leg lengths or other parameters- the same way it updates properly now with 1 leg. Hope this helps!

    There is absolutely no good reason to use Blender for any parts which are supposed to be functional except if you are only ever doing it as a one-off and don't want to put effort into learning a real CAD software. And I am not even specifically endorsing Fusion 360, even thought it is what I personally use. Basically any parametric CAD software will be an improvement over Blender even FreeCAD and I wouldn't recommend that software to anyone. The plugins don't make Blender a good choice, they make Blender a less atrocious choice.

    Fantastic choice on the redesign. Do you have any thoughts on the Pimoroni 2040 as a control platform? Fusion consideration for the future: you can use the "derive" command to isolate specific groups of components or or a single item from an assembly. The component will still be parametrically linked to the original design. The larger and more complex the build becomes, the more difficult it will be to work in the main workspace due to downstream computations and bloat. This is also a very easy and efficient way to work on multiple variations in parallel without disrupting the timeline of your main build. I'm really enjoying your project and while it is much too ambitious for me to take on something this large in scale it has reinvigorated a small project of my own. Thanks!

    With the first layer issue using prusa slicer. Check the g-code start sequence in both programs, should be somewhere in the printer settings. Soemtimes it lacks one line of code that tells the printer to use the scanned mesh of the bed created during auto-leveling. Without this line of code your printer prints as it would have perfectly leveled bed which is a rare case.

    Yea... I learned CAD in Fusion360 and am now interested in learning Blender... so I've tried using Blender to do CAD projects that I'd normally do in Fusion... but Blender just sucks for CAD. Seriously... they could learn a lot from CAD workflow. I get it... the whole "ART" workflow is different and all... but the ability set values based on relationships to other values in projects (constraints) even based on things from the past in your timeline... is really something blender needs.

    Have you seen the serial servos? That will help you simplify wiring since each of them can be daisy chained with each other. They provide Realtime feedback, so you could technically use it to determine if a leg is on a surface or not.. think about uneven terrain. You could have the gait stop at a different z height depending on walking up or down. Also they are serial 3 wires vs ~18x3 of em. I have a Pheonix I bought from lynxmotion back in ~2008 ish. I mentioned in one of my other comments from a couple months ago, planning on using an ESP32.

    So what is probaly happening with your first layer is that in Prusa Slicer under printer settings in "Start g-code" there is G28 homing command as default. This command besides homing your printer also disables any bed leveling in the printer itself. U should put a "M420 S" after G28 to restore leveling or use G29 and then your printer will do leveling before each print. You can read more about it in Marlin documentation. I don't know Anker slicer, maybe it's posibble to find start g-code in it and copy it to prusa slicer then it will behave the same...

    I don't recall all the details (because I have a Bambu so I'm not planning to actually buy an AnkerMake) but ModBot recently did a video on the M5 and discusses this issue. If memory serves, there's some custom functionality on the M5 that only occurs in the Anker Slicer. His workaround was the same as yours. My impression is that Anker is trying to pull off the same "walled garden" effect as Bambu, but where Bambu based their software on a good slicer and then put a lot of effort into creating a pleasant user experience, Anker based their software on a mediocre slicer and left it all bare bones. Bambu also left a lot of "gates" in their garden wall and sure, the paths out there are unpaved and bumpy but if you don't want to be in the garden, you can still get acceptable functionality out of a Bambu printer. From reports, it seems that isn't true for Anker. Honestly, given that it's a bed-slinger and so limited to low temp filaments, Anker is competing with both Bambu's P1P - which is as reliable, as fast, has a better user experience, requires much less setup, and a lower price - and with Prusa - which is *also* as reliable, not as fast, more expensive (for a Mk4) or less capable (for a Mini+), but open source, an excellent user experience, and a strong corporate history with excellent aftermarket support. As far as I can tell, the only reason for someone to buy an AnkerMake is they don't trust Bambu but do trust Anker, and don't want to spend for a Prusa, and that seems like a pretty niche customer to me.

    ​@@davydatwood3158I haven't watched any video on Ankermake, but I guess it's the same "extra functionality" as in every new fast printer that uses some kind of klipper fork which is basically custom macro. That's why the best idea would be to copy start, end and layer change g-codes to Prusa Slicer from Anker Slicer. I don't think M5 is trying to be competition for P1P. At least in my country it's 25% cheaper so cutdowns like smaller build area and non-metal hotend (and it's targeted to "begginers" so they expect user to print PLA) are expected. Being bedslinger doesn't mean it's worse than than CoreXY printer. My Switchwire can pull much higher accelerations than my Voron Legacy(with modified X axis so it uses mgn12 rail), mostly because of its super sturdy frame.

    It chugs but its usable. Granted the hexapod is a pretty big file at this point. What helps is to make the stuff you arent working on invisible, or even better have things in separate projects. Obviously i couldnt easily do that since all the leg parts rely on eachother.

    Try using the LX-224 servos instead of the type you're using. With the LX-224's the servos can actually be daisy-chained, ie instead of having the tibia wires run all the way from the tibia to the Arduino, the tibia wires can be connected to the FEMUR servos, and the femur wires can be connected to the coxa servos, and then just the coxa servo wires can be connected to the Arduino. That way, you won't have fragile untidy wires all over the place. Please tell me what you think about the LX-224 servos. Pleeease!!!

    I would love to use this type of servo, but I have no idea how to make it work with arduino, the servos im using are so much easier to use. With that said, if and when I make a new hexapod with more advanced electronics I will definitely be looking into serial bus servos.

This may be well suited for learners in higher grades but it's also an amazing platform to teach 3d printing since most of the parts are 3d printed. The lesser I have to ship electronics the better.

I'm basically doing the same sorts of projects as you are but haven't printed any projects yet (other work keeps getting in the way) and heard that servos, steppers, etc can get hot enough to warp PLA. What have you been using? I'm not sure if it was mentioned in the video and I missed it, but from the timelapse print in this video (nozzle at 200 degrees celsius) it seems you're using PLA.
