Build the Robot

This section walks you through how to physically build PrintExo — from parts sourcing to 3D printing and final assembly.

PrintExo is designed to be: - FDM-printable using consumer desktop 3D printers, - off-the-shelf friendly with standard, easily sourced hardware, - shoe-agnostic, requiring no permanent modification to footwear.
