Description
This is a printable Hexapod. It is still not very stable and still learning to walk, but it is a good start. It needs some changes in the leg design as sometimes they bend under the weight.
The initial design is based on :
robozone.su/forum/textversion.html?t58
The changes I have done are the additions described below and also decrease the size of the Body plates to fit a standard Mendel.
And I am currently using this software to control it:
hexapodrobot.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=160
Be aware that the hexapod is still not very stable (legs bending) and that is why it is work in progress.

Instructions
Print Body_Up and Body_down for the body.
You will need the basic:
6x Fuss
6x Bein
6x Moto1
3x Moto2
3x Moto3 ( this is the same as Moto2, but in the other direction)
Addition:
bracket1-3 are additions for Bein. It makes the leg moer stable and does not bend. You will need also Bein2. Check the legs on the picture.
You will need 18 servo machines. The legs are being gathered with M3 bolts and M3 rods.

Yes, they were converted from Autocad to Solidworks and a little bit manipulated to fit the Mendel bed. If these are good for you I will upload them somewhere so you can download.

great design - adding a lateral ridge to one side of the leg components should improve stiffness without complicating printing or adding too much plastic.
