The file 'Mole’s ModHex 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 1.4MB.
The original didn't work with the servos I had on hand, and I wanted to be able to add more articulation and improve bits without having to start over from scratch. Thus: the Modular Hexapod.
The dovetail tongue and groove design was inspired by the Simple Spool System for Makerbot http://www.thingiverse.com/derivative:5005 I wanted to be able to switch out parts as I improve them and to avoid absolute positioning.

I used the nifty Pololu Micro Maestro x6 servo controller and 4 AAA batteries to get things moving.
