SwarmBot: Magno – Print-in-Place Flexi Robot Drone
Meet Magno, the first SwarmBot to roll out of the Spindlelands Foundry. Designed as a compact field drone, Magno uses internal magnetic pivots and flexi joints to scuttle over debris and scan for salvageable metals.
This model prints fully assembled — once supports and brim are removed, each of Magno’s four legs moves freely, giving it that satisfying flexi toy feel right off the build plate.
