Theo Jansen's 3D-printed Strandbeest walking in full color

awesome, looks like all the little legs are moonwalking

Thats pretty cool

One day old and it's already died. ;-(

I'm surprised it can both use or generate energy.

Nope, you need to buy both, so it will be over €100,-

HOW?!

so its all wind-powered?

Lol. What a smartass. Not an insult. I respect that. I love being a smartass to people.

Does it go backwards if you put a vacuum cleaner to the fan?

That fall! I cringed in fear of it breaking.

good gob bro that is cool and i know it had to take a will to make and its beast

Hooray for Engineering! \o/

They grow so fast

Can I have one please? :)

Now this needs to be mass produced.

I have to print up one of those. I've been needing a new challenge.

The poor thing died. :(

Did you add the fan thing that makes it move or does that come with it?

This is incredible, is this your design or did you have others help you collaborate?

Does Theo have a channel?

is it possible for the fan to be in front and it simply walking forward is enough to make it move?

Wow... That is... the BEST thing I have ever seen!

That's incredible

You know this guy is probably rich

Who, Theo Jansen or me? Why?

Because you can buy all those puzzles, not just designing them.

I love the little tiny yellow beast. !! ALSO: could u someday make a video about the 3d printer process? I saw it on a Tv show recently (THE BIG BANG THEORY) but I'd love to see how it goes from your imagination, to scanning a prototype, and it popping out a whistle or something simple. Pleeeez?

how does it work

I'm assuming you had to disassemble it to dye the pieces, then put it back together? Or did you dye the whole thing yellow and paint the rest manually?

you are a genius.

That's terrifying

I think I dated him once...he fell off the table then too. Chortle chortle

Strandbeest=Beach Monster XD so cool!!!

i think i am not the first to say this but: INSTRUCTIONS

oscar,why don't you try to mix a 2x2 with a dino cube (from Zmaz)?

Because someone else has already done that.

Please contact Theo Jansen about instructions directly. Note that Strandbeest is printed in its assembled state.Oskar

What? no way, someone made a rubik's 2x2 with a dino cube?

Search the internet for "Dino Chop".

Really nice! :D

Really? This is powered only by draft? No fan? How cool. And slightly scary.

are the links for the already-printed item? can we buy or download the files instead?

Theo's model is printed fully assembled. It is printed upon your order. You should ask Theo directly if you wish to have the files instead.

Stl ? Please

How much for the beest?

i bought the one you assemble on ebay for around $9.00 canadian tomorrow job assemble

This is simply amazing.

is there any chance you'll work on things like this again?

Really cool!!! I love Theo Jansen's machines!!
