A project log for 3D Printed Open Source Robot With Arduino

The Wire Beings beta is an open source robot for Arduino that can be 3D printed. The chassis has a basic build, with full instructions.

I wanted to design this thing to be inexpensive and use common parts, so this robot uses 9V batteries currently. They run out pretty quickly with a lot of use, so I will probably end up designing a new piece that allows for the use of rechargeable lithium ion batteries and Adafruit power booster.

Also, if anyone knows of a good 3D printing service, so people without printers can make this, it would be much appreciated, I got an initial estimate of over $1000 so I was discouraged from wasting any more time uploading the files elsewhere.
