    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…En afficher davantage

    • 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…En afficher davantage

    • 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…En afficher davantage

    • 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.

    • Hello,
      It sounds like you have tangled the tendons somewhere. Inside the finger itself perhaps. This affects the ability to move a finger, because when one tendon tries to pull it also stops the other tendon to release.
      And yes each finger needs it’s own min and max position.

    • Start of a New Mod on Bob/Alans 3 Stage Neck System–
      I want to be Able to Print or Make the Ball for the Ends separately ,, this is a Mod iv wanted to do for a while (not sure how it will turn out) — has anyone else out there replaced the Printed Ballends with a Tie Rod or Ball Joint –?

      • I Tried, but the Ball joint was very limited in it’s movement, so I reverted to using 3D printed parts.

        • Cool,, thanks for the info– i thought a Ball Joint might be a bit to limited but wasn’t sure – ,, i will stick with designing some different 3d printed parts and see how that goes,,, Cheers Mats

          • It’s important to have screws that go all the way through the ball because they are much too fragile. I had to glue them with acetone a few times already due to travelling.
            If I would do something in redesigning this, I would over dimension those balls and their axes.

          • I still contend that it would be good to keep them small to simulate a ball joint and add the required strength but adding the bolt, which is already necessary to mount the pistons. Build a lot of strenghte with a LOT of plastic or a little metal. This is one of the more heavily stressed joints on the bot
            I am sure either would work fine.

            • Gael’s design is completely unique because it does not require metal. All I am saying is that I am not pure and this is one of the few areas that metal solves a few problems.

              Cheers!
