Hi K-Scale team,
I'm building out orobot.io — a catalog and 3D viewer for open-source printable robots. Think of it as a discovery layer: each robot gets a page with an interactive STL viewer, bill of materials context, and links back to the source repo. The goal is to close the gap between "starred a cool robot on GitHub" and "actually built one."
Zeroth-bot is exactly the kind of project we want to feature. The combination of MIT license, sub-$350 BOM, and a complete sim-to-real stack (KOS + KSim) is rare — most robots in this space are either well-documented but GPL, or MIT but hardware-files-only with no software ecosystem. You have both.
One blocker: I can't find the printable STL files in this repo or anywhere in the zeroth-robotics org. The README points to docs.kscale.dev but the hardware section there doesn't seem to have a files download yet (or I'm looking in the wrong place).
Two questions:
- Are the STL/STEP files for the printable parts hosted somewhere I'm missing?
- If not yet public, would you be open to publishing them (or linking to them from here) when V1.0 lands in June? We'd feature zeroth-bot on orobot.io as soon as files are available.
Happy to share more about what the orobot.io listing looks like — or just check out https://orobot.io to see how other robots are presented.
Thanks for what you're building.
