I’m Building a Bigger WALL-E… and This Is Where It Starts | Project Wall-E Episode 001

Project WALL-E begins properly with a quick look at where the build started, what broke on the original version, and just how much bigger the new version is going to be. In this first mini build log, I compare the original 3D printed WALL-E project with the newly scaled-up parts, including the track sections, body size, and head assembly. The plan is to repair the original build, learn from the weak points, and carry those improvements into the larger version. This is the start of an informal mini-series following the build as it develops — including 3D printing, electronics, servos, motors, tracks, repairs, redesigns and probably a few mistakes along the way. 00:00 Intro 01:43 Weak motor / track section 03:07 Track size comparison 04:13 Head assembly 05:19 Outro Project WALL-E This video is part of an ongoing series documenting the design, repair, scaling and construction of a large-format 3D printed WALL-E robot. Follow along as we tackle the mechanics, electronics, software and inevitable challenges of bringing this iconic character to life. About The MakerPlex Hi, I’m Owen and this is The MakerPlex. This channel is all about making things — from 3D printing and CAD design to electronics, CNC machining, laser cutting, workshop projects, model engineering and the occasional project that probably seemed like a good idea at the time. Whether we’re building robots, designing useful workshop tools, experimenting with new technology or simply seeing if an idea works, the goal is always the same: learn by doing and share the journey along the way.
