Remy the Rat A software engineer built a wearable Remy the Rat costume based on an idea from Instagram creator @SheBuildsRobots, completing several firsts including a schematic circuit diagram, 3D printing, and STL file editing. The builder said the servo-motor-to-arm joints kept breaking or bending so the arm would not move up, and plans to try a tendon joint next time because the motors are too big to fit in the shoulders. The STL edit was made via a pull request to the shebuildsrobots/remy_model GitHub repository, which the builder noted was done with help from Claude. I am absolutely obsessed with rats and pigeons so every year for halloween I dress up as some sort of rat or pigeon and last year I saw @SheBuildsRobots https://www.instagram.com/shebuildsrobots idea for Remy and I knew I had to try it This project had a lot of firsts for me: - First time being able to wear something I made - First time having a correct external power supply - First time drawing a schematic circuit diagram I usually just wing the wiring hahah - First time 3D printing - First time editing an stl file unfortunately claude helped https://github.com/shebuildsrobots/remy model/pull/14 https://github.com/shebuildsrobots/remy model/pull/14 Things I would do to make it better: - The wires that were connecting the servo motors to the 3D printed arms kept breaking or they would bend weirdly and the arm wouldn't move up. So I would want to figure out a different way to do that joint. The motors are too big to fit into his shoulders so maybe I would try to do a tendon joint https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/65dsyt/version one 3d printed finger with flexible tendon/ next time? I have never tried those. Read more
