FDM 3D Printing Parts

Machine Used: Creality Ender 3

Filament Roll Holder

Designed to interface with printed wheels shown below (Wheels were downloaded from Thingiverse, I did not design them) 1.75mm filament was used as an axle.

Printed out of PLA+

Wheels aligned with the rim of the filament roll to allow for easy advancing when pulled on by extruder.

Downloaded Wheel

This part was downloaded from Thingiverse, and used as a basis to design the filament roll holder around.

Rear Calf Cushion for Exoskeleton

Part in use on Exoskeleton calf

This part was also inverted and printed for the left side of the calf. Part was printed in rainbow PLA.

Exoskeleton Calf Spacer

Used to connect the calf and ankle components of the STARX exoskeleton.

Spacer printed in green TPU

TPU was picked for its deformability to allow the U bolts to be tightened much more than PLA or PLA+ would allow.

Slider for Exoskeleton Leg Test Bed

Interior was lubricated to run up a square steel shaft of approximately one inch.

Slider on Test Bed with Exoskeleton Leg attached

Slider was printed out of PLA+ for maximum strength
