Hello Makerworld Community!

Introduction :

This is an educational model of a steward platform(Hexagonal Platoform). I made it into a simplified version which is much smaller but still have the same funtions such as the 6DOF which can rotate with a wide range of movement.

When you print this model there

should be a certain list of the 3D printed parts which is :

-6 Hydraulics (with internal and external)

-6 Hydraulic bottom cover

-12 Joint connectors

-12 Joint Blocks

-18 short Pins

-3 Long Pins

Tools you will use to assemble

-Hot Glue Gun

Steps To Assemble the Hexagonal Platform (See STL to see part names):

1. First, Take 6 hydraulic internal and external, then put the bigger back of the hydraulic to the bottom of the hydraulic

2. After, insert the internal hydraulic part to the external hydraulic part.

3. then, put on the hydraulic bottom cover on the bottom of the external part and glue it using the hot glue gun.

4. then, glue the joint block on to the bottom as well as the top part (Which should be sticking out of the external hydraulic part when flipped over) of the hydraulic.

5. Next, put the Joint connector and place it between the joint block.

6. Sixth, Insert the short pin between the joint block and the Join connector through the hole(Bottom Hydraulic)

7. Seventh, Put the Joint block(bottom base) and the joint connector(hydraulic) then lock it using the short pin into to the bottom base

8. Eight, Insert the short pin between the joint block and the Join connector through the hole(Top hydraulic)

9. Ninth, Put the Joint block(Top base) and the joint connector(hydraulic) then lock it using the long pin into the Top base

10. Congrats, You've Done it!

Troubleshooting

• Parts Not Moving

Make sure that glue is not attached to the hydraulics so that the hydraulics doesnt attach and cling on to anything.

• Glue not sticking

Use stronger glue any other than hot glue gun is fine.
