Need Large Hexapod Leg / Servo Designs

How do I build a large hexapod leg / servo without breaking the bank? I want each leg to be about 2 feet long.

Speaking of extensions, Anyone hear anything about them releasing the stls for them? I don't have a 3d printer but I like to have all of the bits in my library to play with.

Hi, Picking this thread up again. I'm designing a harvestmen spider robot using 16DOF with heavy duty servos. My legs are effectively 33cm weighing each about 54grams (similar to avatar pic, only larger). Total support weight is about 1100g. I'll be running about 69% of stall torque on the hip servos during gait. I'd like to keep from adding knee servos, as it detracts from the general effect, but would help distribute load.

Is this a sustainable load for the heavy duty servos, or will they wear out quickly?

Thanks
