Gizmo Robotic Dog

Category: Tags: , ,

This was an old design school project of a toy for teaching children a dog’s body language to reduce the risk of bite injuries. You can read more about the development of this design here.

I liked the design so I decided to make it 3d printable. It’s arms, legs, neck and head can rotate giving it various postures. The print snaps together with no glue or fasteners.

print instructions:

Prints well with standard settings, except I upped the support material density to 30%. The head relies the most on support material, and it helps the part fit more cleanly.

Refer to the "gizmo_total.stl" for the orientations I used for all of the parts.

The legs fit very tight, they will loosen over time. This was to prevent the legs from becoming too loose.
