I really like the rhinoceros, its sharp horn and the armor-like skin, making it like a monster from the Middle Ages, like an armored car with four legs, really a cool animal. So the rhino became the first design in my Running Animals series. The Running Animals series features a slow running down the slope of about 10 degrees, swinging back and forth when running downhill, and ticking like a metronome. It looks very interesting. The Running Animals series also includes polar bears, triceratops, and brontosaurus, and will be released in the future.
Running Rhino originated from the paper DIY I designed for ⟪Young Scientist Monthly⟫ in 2014. I redesigned it in 2015 and changed it to 3D printing. I love this 3D printed version of the rhino head design. I also applied this head design to my robot design.
In order to reduce the difficulty of making Running Rhino , I pay special attention to the slope of each structure of the part, so most parts can be printed without support. This reduces material usage and reduces printing time. I also draw assembly program diagrams and film assembly videos, hoping to make it easy for all makers to run Running Rhino .
The running rhino has a process to adjust the center of gravity in the combination. If there is a scaling print, it is necessary to change the counterweight .

犀牛是我很喜歡的動物，它鼻子上的尖角和盔甲般的表皮，讓它就像來自中古世紀的怪獸，又像長了四隻腳的裝甲車，真的是很酷的動物。因此犀牛成為我的【跑步動物】系列中的第一個設計。【跑步動物】系列作品的共同特色是，能順著約10度斜坡向下跑步，跑下坡時還會前後搖擺，同時像節拍器一樣發出滴答聲響。看起來十分有趣。【跑步動物】系列還有北極熊、三觭龍、雷龍等造形，將來也陸續發行。
【跑步犀牛】源於2014年我為⟪科學少年雜誌⟫設計的紙DIY，2015年我重新設計它，將它修改為可以3D列印，我很喜愛這個3D列印版本的犀牛頭部設計，還將此頭部設計運用在我的機器人設計中。
為了減少【跑步犀牛】的製作困難度，我特別注意零件的每個結構的斜度，因此大部分的零件都能夠無支撐列印。這樣能減少材料的使用，並縮短列印時間。我也繪製組裝程序圖解及拍攝組裝影片，希望能讓所有maker能夠簡易完成【跑步犀牛】。
ps. 跑步犀牛在組合過程需調整重心，若有縮放列印就必需改變配重的重量。
