Nearly done with the printing guys. Close to 75 hours and stage one will be complete. Then the electronics go in and on to stage three, which is coding. That’s all new for me so I’ve got me fingers crossed on that one. By the way the end result should be a five axis robotic arm operated with a PS3 controller.
I’ll warn you now, (though it looks a little too late) – that arm doesn’t have anything useful past the second link, and you’ll need to design your own tool holder and end link. A real good robot arm to start with is the Moveo from BCN3D https://www.bcn3dtechnologies.com/en/bcn3d-moveo-the-future-of-learning/
There are some errata for that robot arm though - lots of things don’t sit right, so you have to finagle them. The BOM calls for bushings, but in the instructions they’re never used anywhere…but a far more functional arm than the one you’re building currently.
@ThantiK Thanks bud, already hacked parts from that design and drawing a print to connect the tool end to the rest of it.

@Ben_Scott yeah; personally I like the base on the version you’re printing better than the Moveo base. We used a custom cut teflon ring on the inside of the retainer ring in order to keep everything snug. Whatever you design past that second link, make sure to share it either on github, or thingiverse, or whatever. I have an arm like yours that’s half way built, and if you come up with a good solution, I’d like to steal it from you 
I’ve also got a fully built Moveo; but the first arm I built was this one, and I’m kinda miffed that it’s sitting in the corner only half finished.
@ThantiK Will do. I’ll have extra time on winter break and should be able to come up with something that works.
