Like this Damian,,,
I will work it out this today,because your drawing looks different like i done,maybe i need to mirror a part
Your right,,, i just looked at some photos of the build process and Mr Gael just turns the piece around like you have,,,, so there should be a problem,,,,
BTW, where you get so nice schematic? I was trying modify files using solidworks, but STL is not best format to edit for me
I rebuilt all of Inmoovs parts in SketchUp so i can Mod the design to my specs,,, i know what you mean about the Elbow not rotating 90degs,,,,, but dont worry about it ,,,,, it will all make sense when the arm is built
I’ve Got a Modded “ElbowGearHolder” that removes the Moment Limits for the Forearm ,,,, but the “Knock On Effect” is terrible if something goes wrong,,,
No need to mirror any parts. Build both Biceps the same. The pot and related gears will end up on the outside of the Right Bicep and on the inside of the Left Bicep. These are then attached to RobPart5 (right and left) on the forearm.
My bots arms do not extend all the way as well. I printed everything stock.
Damian posted an update 7 years, 11 months ago
I’m bit confused now about maximum positions of ElbowShaftGear, from my point of view elbow will never go to straight position or am i wrong? i printed latest files and not sure what im doing wrong
The elbow will go straight and to 90 degress. Follow Gael’s tutorial here http://inmoov.fr/bicep/ and it will all work out good.
I gone rhru this tutorial few times and not sure about this max position, when i bend elbow is fine but when i want straight its not look like in tutorial 🙁
I might be wrong but i think you printed the wrong side of the “ElbowShaftGear” or its back to front ,,,?
Part is fine, there is only one ElbowShaftGear for both( unless i cant find for right side)
Hello Damian, you simply didn’t put the potentiometer on the correct side of the elbow, therefore you have set ElbowShaftGear upside down.

Sounds great Markus. I subscribed to your You Tube channel quite a while ago. Your work is always interesting and I look forward to seeing more of it.
Great impulse Markus!
This is a“Free Spinning “ Version of the Savox Servo SV 0236MG https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2736500
nice work, that should save some $$$ on new servos 🙂
Yep,,, there so handy for testing new frames designs without having to spend a lot of money,,,, i’ve got x4 Arms in testing stages so that around $1200 if i had run real servos,, there only usefully for people like me he do a lot of Mod work on the Structural Frames –( but thought i would post them anyway)– almost got a printable gear drive and…[Read more]
Handy! I had made some but didn’t post them because they were not very accurate regarding the HS805bb.
i know what you mean,,, it took me a few attempts to get the dimensions correct so when they are 3D Printed the dimensions are correct–,, (that statement sounds kinda weird,,,lol)

Just getting started out, I’m really looking forward to the whole adventure of building this, I have been teasing my 17 year old son that I’m building a replacement son for when he leaves Home.
I’m just having a bit of a problem with where to fit the extra servo for the articulated thumb, I can’t find a rob part for the arm with the extra 4…[Read more]
Hay Simon ,,,Last time a looked at the articulated thumb by Anar it is just a manual adjuster with no Servo based movement,,,,
Thanks Mindless, it was just looking through Gael’s instructions for the forearm build, he seemed to have 4 holes in the side which you have to redrill and put the bushings from the servo in. All the files I’ve found so far don’t seem to have those 4 holes and I don’t know where to put them.
Hay your right they did get the extra Servo hooked and-up working by the looks of it,,, but i have No idea on using it,,, -I’m still a primate when comes to certain stuff,,,,, and the control mechcanizime for the fingers is one of them ,,,,, sorry dude
You have to make a choice, either you use an extra servo for thumb or you set the spring tensioner. Both are to be set at the same location. Personaly I was never thrilled about that extra thumb actuation, because the demonstration videos I had seen didn’t convince me. But regardless, you can still attach the servo, there is holes to set three…[Read more]
Thanks Gael, it’s great to have your personal input, this is such an incredible project. I think I’ll take your advice and stick to the original design, I wasn’t happy with the way that thumb joint printed anyway. Do you have any suggestions as to where to source the springs? I’m having a real problem trying to find any. Also, what is their o…[Read more]

Nice prints you have there 🙂 Which brand of filament are you using?
Currently using PLA+ by Esun –,, its tough as hell ( flexible ) and it doesn’t swell like other filaments but getting a good surface finish took a while to tune-in,,,,, great for prototyping parts never have a first layer issues on cold beds and its cheap,,,,,, this is a pic of the Screw/Bolt Together Arm — got to some more mod work the B…[Read more]

Hi. I needed to trim the Face Holders to allow the Ear Sides to sit on correctly. Has anyone done a mod of these to make more room, or is there a good way to edit the stls for these?
Hello John, These parts normaly don’t need refining, I checked again the models and I have a gap between the parts of about a 1mm which lets them assemble correctly. http://inmoov.fr/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Face-connection.png The piece you have doesn’t have the nut holder, so I suspect its an older…[Read more]

Hello, Check the “Hardware and BOM” page in the “Build yours” tab.
Mindless, I appreciate your comments. I am up to the task. I have built a life size R2D2, Dalek, B9 Lost in Space Robot, done the electronics. But I always seem to take one step forward and ten back. So I will get there. 🙂

This is my son dream , I just his helper.
Hi. So I am starting to reprint my inmoov from scratch. I started with some cheap filament that came on 250g rolls, but now I am buying 1kg rolls but its whiter and I want a uniform print. But, if I decided to spray the parts like I see some people have done, what do people use. I assume I would need to sand the surface. What Grits would you use…[Read more]
I had some not so nice joins between parts after a glue failure, so I hid the ugliness with some nice red paint. I sanded starting a 80 grit on the belt sander (Don”t do this, it melts the plastic) I worked my way up the grits to 400 grit, hand sanding. Then used some high gloss enamel paint. The result were quite reasonable. I would not suggest…[Read more]
Yep,, that right,,, buy all different Sandpaper Grades in the small rolls or sheets you will need some 800grit for sanding between coats of the Spray Putty and 1200grit for Sanding between the finish coats but get some 250grit /400grit/600grit for the rough work it just depends on how rough the Plastic Surface is to start with – Dulux have r…[Read more]
Hi. Just had a frustrating day, printing the Lower back of the head to only realize the stl I downloaded a month or so ago was out of date. The one I printed was in two parts and minus joining lugs to connect to the rest of the head.

Hello Hugues, I am the only one updating the files on InMoov site, it’s a LOT of work to maintain, I can tell you that, and I do that only to please others for free… The parts you are talking about has been updated in 2015.

Hi. I can understand the difficulty of maintaining files. I have been involved in R2D2 Hobby building and designing and providing open source files.

Great work though.

Hello InMoov builders! Here is a view of the knee actuation. This is done via MyRobotLab with the DIY Servo service. More to come with the Ankle and Thigh actuation.
Awesome,,, It’s great to see your R&D work on his mechanical operation for this section–,,,
This is awesome, How long before we start to see the files for the different parts? I am very interested in the files for the feet and ankle drive system.
Thanks Mindless!
Well, I am waiting for some components from AliExpress which need to be tested before release. Just for info this is already my third knee design, which all three were pretty different. R&D takes a long time and my problem is that I don’t only work on the legs.
beautiful advanced gael.

Super, donc avec LocalSpeech les voix Voxygen peuvent être prise en charge. Je n’ai jamais tenté cette direction. Merci à Anthony et Dominique pour cette intégration dans MRL.
oui sa marche si les utilisateur achète la voix
Hay Guys Mr Gael,,, just wondering about these X2 Nut/Bolt Holes when they line up the “Front Skin” is sticks out by 3.8mm — ,, is this meant to be like this ? –,,
Hello Mindless, You must have the first version, this was an issue that was reported a few days after I posted the parts. I have modified since then. ( I had mixed a piece of the motorized legs with the non motorized when uploading) ThighLowRightV3.stl ThighLowLeftV3.stl
No worries,,, I’ll download the new V3 Parts,,,, I really should of checked that out first but it didn’t even occur to me to have a look for a updated part,,,, anyway cheers mate–,,
Yes, this must happen to many people. I see some builders still printing the original hand that I posted in 2011 on Thingiverse, instead of the updated version from the site.
Darn, I must have printed the early versions. I’m all glued up too. One of the pains of being one of the first printers. Oh well, mine seem to align a bit better and since I have a color transition it is not noticeable.
Hey yes, that’s the privilege to use beta version! You should see the boxe of beta pieces that are unused in my workshop… Anyway the motorized legs will require to almost reprint it all. 🙂

Non les voix de Voxygene ne sont pas prise en charge, à moins que celle-ci puissent être utilisé par LocalSpeech. Par contre, il y a d’autre voix disponible pour le Français qui peuvent-être paramétrées directement dans les configs, mais il faut un compte gratuit comme par exemple avec VoiceRss ou Polly. Autre exemple avec les voix de votre Window…[Read more]
d’accord car jai acheté la voix de eva spécialement pour cela dommage merci quand meme

Hi Gael, I am grateful to you for having met Gael and Inmoov. Also, I feel great happiness in making Inmoov. I was worried about one, and I was asked this question. It was suggested that Inmoov made his own appearance on TV drama CF elsewhere. So I thought I had to give Gael permission to proceed with this. Thank you again for being able to meet…[Read more]
Nice legs! I am kidding… Good progress, what is your plan about that TV drama CF? Can you tell me more about it?
It seems to be CF related to American drama to be broadcast in Korea. CF is a scene where a robot with AI is talking to a person, and Inmoov will be used at that time. Maybe Inmoov is only moving Jaw.
Please Answer me , I need your approval …^^
Okay, It’s nice if the robot is seen in Korea!
