I got a free CAD program around 4 years ago because it seemed interesting to me, a year later I bought a 3D printer from money I'd saved up- from then on I was hooked. I became very proficient in CAD work and I estimate I have close to around 2000 hours of experience with printers and designing.
Shortly after I got my 3D printer I began work on a 3D printed robot after being inspired by other 3D printed robots like the Inmoov designed by Gael Langevin. After countless failures, all-nighters, and dead ends, I've refined my robot to be incredibly simple, practical, and inexpensive. My robot (PROTO1) is by far the greatest accomplishment and if you are at all interested in robotics and 3D printing check out my publications and you can build one. If you have any questions or want to contact me about custom 3D modeling or printing you can email me at info@agbotics.tech
Happy printing!
