Origin Zero Remix: Heavy Logging Mech ATHAD

Sales Pitch

So you acquired logging rights for difficult to access terrain?

You're still using highly specialized crews and helicopters to get those precious logs down?

You're looking to modernize this process?

Introducing the Origin Zero - All Terrain Heavy Autonomous Deforester - ATHAD

Our fully autonomous deforester can reach almost pretty much an location trees can grow. It's quadruped design and state of the art gyroscopic stabilization system provide a stable platform for cutting, handling and transporting large logs on even the most difficult of terrain. It's right arm is designed for maximum lifting capacity and grip strength to handle any tree you might want to fell. Meanwhile it's electrically powered buzzsaw cuts through any stem with ease.

Once loaded onto the log-carrier on it's back it will transport your profitable rescources to a more accessible area for storage or further transport by more traditional means.

Take your logging operation to the next level!

About this Project

This is my entry for @KitCrafters - Origin Zero Remix Contest.

As you can guess from the images and (tounge-in-cheek) sales pitch above, I turned the base model into a quadruped logging mech, complete with a claw-arm on it's right and a buzzsaw for cutting down trees on it's left, as well as a bespoke backpack to carry the logs. All pieces are compatible with and based on the original Origin Zero Mech. The arms and backpack-attachement are mostly built from scratch while the remaining pieces have been edited and detailed.

Can also be used as a pen-holder if need be. So I guess it's actually a 2in1 design lol

Printing Disclaimer

It prints entirely without the need for supports at default scale.

The ball joints have been edited compared to the original for more friction. I will include alternate versions of the Torso and Waist peice which use the original ball joint instead. The default joints work well for poseability and sturdyness with PLA.

There is also an alternative version of the Head without the antenna in case that might be too flimsiy for whomever it's given to.

The “logs” in the pictures are not part of the print ;P

Assembly

Personal Note:

I took the opportunity of the contest as a motivational challenge to learn more about 3D-modelling in FreeCAD and 3D-printing in general as I've only gotten a printer recently. This is only the third model I've designed and printed myself so feedback is welcome and appreciated!

Cheers!
