This robot is not only a fun print-in-place figure but it is also a very useful calibration tool.
The Benchmark Bot is designed with 17 functional joints with different orientations, couplings, and tolerances. The tolerances range from 0.2 - 0.5mm and allow you to test the minimum clearances your printer can produce and still achieve print-in-place movement.
Each limb is labeled with the tolerances of their joints and all other joints have a 0.3mm tolerance. It might take a little (just a little) bit of force to break them free any more and you risk breaking the robot.
It only uses 20g of filament and is small enough to fit on a Prusa mini or even a Voron V0.
Print Settings:
No support! No brim!
The point of the Benchmark Bot is to find the best parameters to make it function, therefore it is difficult to recommend any settings.
That being said, I used the following parameters: 0.4mm nozzle, 0.2mm layer height, PLA, 3 walls, 4 floors/roof, 10% infill.
