Please post your questions about Shellmo here.

Sho, can you give us some insight on Shellmo's weight load tolerance? I starting to think about power solutions (batteries), and was wanting to know a rough idea how touchy weight is going to be beforehand so I can size a lipo pack. Space doesn't really seem to be an issue, but with those little legs, I was worried about weight.

Sorry to be late.
in my case (my Shellmo Olivia),

Shell: 70g
Decoration on Shell:30g
Core: 240g (include 4xAA 110g)
Micropede: 100g (if RepWalker: 120g)

So, it's total 440g weight and it's move well.

And I tryied to put more 300g to this Shellmo and it's work. But I thought it's almost max weight.

I think, the performance will drop if we made it by desktop 3D printer.
Because of the friction of not fittable parts.
So, I recommend to use about 50~100g Lipo at first.
