Following the popularity of our self balancing scooter and the SciChair we decided to try something a little edgier, the Self Balancing Unicycle. This project reuses a lot of stuff from our previous projects, using an arduino as the brains behind the scenes. Step 1: Ready your tools Before we begin lets ensure we have […]
Supplies The parts list for this build is quite lengthy, but a lot of these components you may having lying around if you do have an old 3D printer. The 3D printer I’ve used to print some of the plastic components and housings is a Creality Ender 3 Pro. Links from Amazon (Affiliate) 2040 Aluminium Extrusion
