Summary

This is a freely customisable walker mechanism made for Thingiverse Customizer.
Open in the Customizer and experiment with the lengths to see the effect it has on the step profile. It is an interesting experiment to see how rotation can be converted into a more novel motion.

I also recommend looking at this amazing tool from Amanda Ghassaei (apps.amandaghassaei.com/Linkages/). I used it to find two of the configurations shown in the photos.

Print any number of legs and one set of end parts to complete the walker.

Have fun with this! It would mean a lot to me if you uploaded your configurations and makes.
