The MrkII TechSpider is an open-source, 3D printed, quadruped robot platform.
The front is designed to be customizable for any type of module. There for the modules can be easily swaped. On the backside is a container for the microcontroller. This will change to a smaller version, or can be designed smaller, that depends on which controller you like to use.
The robot is designed for a minimum build area of 140x140mm
Used material is PLA with a 0.4 nozzle and 30% infill.

The caps help for now against weird movements from the servos by starting up, because the servos ask totally a high current when powering on from my power supply.
man that thing is hot! haha, did you consider masses/moments on the servos? Seems like all your servos are the same size. The 4-legs is interesting, I'm guessing it is like a tripod where 1 leg moves a time?
yes all servos are the same size except the coxa joint. It could be programmed like a tripod for walking. But giving it a learning algorithm can be interesting to see how it will evolve moving through obstacles.
I just noticed the caps, are those functional? Looks cool. The learning thing is interesting, I personally am looking into the obstacle thing myself. A house has irregular objects, some harder to detect than others vs. just a wall.
