This is an amazing robot arm in the fact that it looks a lot more like an industrial arm than most builds. It’s all 3D printed too!
I’m going to have to start printing the parts for this. I regularly get asked “what is 3d printing good for other than just making little trinkets and vases”. I want to have this thing on the table and moving.
DC motors? I’d use steppers for the joints and a RAMPS board so I could control it with Gcode, have it able to return to a set spot each time. It could make a nice pick and place device with a suitable grip at the end.
I’d like to try this with the Kysan geared steppers and a printrboard. Neat idea to sidestep loop belt! I like how professional it looks but I think I’d like to try my typical minimalist design. Perhaps I’ll do a less bulky arm that prints fast and on a 6x6 bed.
