Screw catcher / Robot stand by mkellner Jun 18, 2011

Description

I wanted a stand to hold my robot while I program/test it. I'd like to be able to watch the wheels move while the robot is stationary.

This object holds the robot with a bit more stability than a stack of Altoids tins.

This object also catches screws that you toss into the large bowl. There are magnets embedded towards the front which bring the screws within reach.

LOL! I love the subtle humor that this is catching the screws as they fall out of the robot.

Instructions

Print. The front bottom of the bowl really should have had supports. However, the plastic threads eventually build up, and a bit of trimming with a razor blade saved me an iteration through FreeCAD.

Push .25"x.25"x.1" magnets into the holes in the bottom.
