Quadruped
This is a quadruped designed around standard hobby servos. 9g servos might work but metal gears are much better. The faster and the higher the torque the better for this!
It's of course modelled on Spot from Boston Dynamics and I have successfully managed to get it to walk. This was done using a Raspberry Pi performing the inverse kinematics and other computationally intense operations and an Arduino Mega for the servo control just to protect the Pi. They were connected using the USB ports and have worked really well so far.
The model was printed in PLA and supports were important for most parts. Just use whatever settings give you good results, the parts aren't too complicated.
You kind of have to know what you're doing to make it work, involving a good understanding of trigonometry for the inverse kinematics, the electronics and making it balance while walking.
