Before I can start with my complete InMoov, I need to upgrade my UM2 filament spool-holder.
I’ve ordered some COLORFABB_XT spools with 2.2kg filament 🙂
Not sure if XT filament is the right choice for some mechanical parts.

Mindless replied il y a 9 ans et 7 mois

yep… Colorfabb is great stuff, iv tried every brand/type out there ,, i do a lot of printing,,, In Australia i use « Blueprinted » filaments which is pretty good quality for a cheap filament Colorfabb is hard to get here and its bloody expensive..
I only use PLA you would surprised how tough the stuff when printed correctly – you wont have any…En afficher davantage

  Thanks for your information.
  I get lucky to live in the Netherlands, the shipping costs are free when I order one spool.
  And with the 2.2kg spools it’s 30% less in price.
  
  I’m sure I need to play with some settings (temps and max speed).
  I hope to start this evening with some tests 🙂

    Its worth having a go at trying other other filaments but iv found you really cant beat good quality PLA when its printed correctly,, its hard so its good for gears and moving parts It prints like a dream compered to other filaments,,, and it doesn’t destroy the planet,,,

      CollorFabb PLA is good material anyway.
      XT can handle a higher temp when it’s printed, this part is a positive thing if InMoof stays for a long day in sunlight.
      So maybe I will use XT for some outside parts and all others with PLA 🙂

Hi Gael, today arrived Nervo Board. Amazing speed, thank you 🙂
otherwise InMoov is a great project, and even if I work slowly (it\’s in the long run), I hope it is me with your sites manage to complete.
Once again, great job. Jan

Gael Langevin replied il y a 9 ans et 6 mois

Great to hear that Jan. I do the shipping mainly on Mondays, you happened to have ordered just before I did the packages.
🙂
InMoov is a long term project, so take your time and patience along.

We have been building our InMoov in NH for a few months now. Decided it was finally time to post a picture. Hoping to have the whole InMoov built in the next two months.

Mindless replied il y a 9 ans et 7 mois

Cool,,, Nice finger speed (no pun intended), I was worried about the movement speed of inmove because the videos iv seen him in he is moving very slow,, this is good to know he can do rapid movements
Gael Langevin replied il y a 9 ans et 6 mois

Ehehe, cool.
I wanted to buy an Amazon Echo to test the capabilities of their microphone. I wonder if it still listens correctly when all the servos are buzzing.
- matt replied il y a 9 ans et 6 mois
  
  Good question. We’re almost done with torso. Once we get that finished up – I’ll test it out. I use Echo for my smart light bulbs and it works great even with a lot of background noise.
  - Gael Langevin replied il y a 9 ans et 6 mois
    
    Thanks for your reply,
    Servo buzzing is a noise that is in range of voice intonations from what some sound engineer explained. The result can be desastrous on voice recognition system, because the system actually interprets it as somobody speaking.
    Pretty odd isn’t it !

Great work. I used your previous version on my head. Really liked the streamlined look.
Will you post thes files up?
- Mindless replied il y a 9 ans et 7 mois
  
  Yep,, will post the files when i am happy with the finished results (just about there),,, had to do some touch up work last night on the “eye_glass” so the Mounting system for eyes moves a bit more freely….
  Will post a pic in my album when finished,,
Gael Langevin replied il y a 9 ans et 6 mois

Great Mindless!
Just for info, there is some parts already available in the InMoov derivative collection, but I’m sure you must have seen them already.

Perry a publié une note il y a 9 ans et 7 mois

Seeing Marten’s great work I am rebuilding my forearms as well. Similar concept except I am trying to preserve as much of Gael’s design as possible. Works with his servo holder and standard servos. I had to hollow out RotaWrist1V4 so now there is a straight path for the tendons. The wrist drive is not offset so a straight shaft drives the wrist.…En afficher davantage

Hi Perry,

It’s nice to see your idea about this.
I think I will see your complete setup tomorrow, I hope it works well and I can’t wait to see a video !

Keep up the good work 😉
- Perry replied il y a 9 ans et 7 mois
  
  We don’t all work as fast as you 🙂
Gael Langevin replied il y a 9 ans et 6 mois

Cool design Perry,
this is nice to give room for the tendons to run straight out from the wrist to the Servobed.
- Perry replied il y a 9 ans et 6 mois
  
  Thanks Gael, I a trying to adopt some of your design practices to make parts robust and cleanly exported. I have stopped putting a radius on everything (just because they are easy and look cool). I am starting to see the beauty of a simple to work with STL that can be modified by others. A little more function over form. The simple little parts…En afficher davantage

The new printed shaft fits well and it looks that it can handle the rotation.

Nice. I am printing up my version now. See my post above.

Fantastic Alan… Best realistic movements so far, hands down!… I am working on a new inMoov which I am also planning some sophisticated movement management…
- Richard R replied il y a 9 ans et 7 mois
  
  Did you create your own custom ROS package for this? I still use ez robot but would love to move up to ROS as it looks like much more can be done with ROS than either ez robot or MyRobotLab… I dabbled with ROS a while back so maybe it’s about time I have another look…
  - Alan Timm replied il y a 9 ans et 7 mois
    
    Hey Richard, thanks!
    
    Each toolkit has it’s own benefits. There’s a nice community built up around InMoov+MRL, so it’s a great way to get started without writing everything from scratch. Another R.S.S.C. club member is building an InMoov using EzRobot, and I think there are some others on the forum as well.

A very late comment to your great work using ROS in conjonction with InMoov.
I had shared your great video on my Google+ page right after you posted it.
Thanks for your video, I really enjoyed looking at InMoov moving so gracefully.

Hi Alan
Just made first steps with ROS and found the github-links. So I have inmoov_model-master.zip and inmoov_ros-master.zip
Can you point me to a tuto where to place the files and probably even make it run?
- Alan Timm replied il y a 9 ans et 6 mois
  
  Hey Juerg, Firstly, follow all the tutorials to install and set up ROS. Then, you should be able to follow the README.md from here:
  https://github.com/alansrobotlab/inmoov_ros/tree/master
  
  After you get everything set up, you’ll most likely want to run the urdf model in rviz, using this command:

    Started the beginners tutorial and had a look at your linked tuto.
    As I just recently installed ROS I got the kinetic version. Looks like I have to wait for a fitting Moveit version. But as the package looks rather big and complex I will anyway need to work myself through all the tutorials first.
    - Alan Timm replied il y a 9 ans et 6 mois
      
      Yep, I have a new SSD with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and ROS Kinetic waiting for MoveIt to be released. They’re very close to their first release. Until then, you will have some time to familiarize yourself with the core ROS concepts, go through the tutorials, and control the urdf model in rviz.

        Unfortunately, the glue code in the ROS stack that I’ve published will only work with my robot, but it is a great starting point to integrate ROS into your bot.

Instead of a DogBone shaft, I’ve designed a new small Wrist_Gear and servo-adapter and will use a 6mm hexagonal shaft.
I hope the 6mm hexagonal shaft is strong enough 🙂
Tomorrow I will print all parts and if it works fine, I will include these parts to the Wrist upgrade set @ Thingiverse.

rodolfo rojas replied il y a 9 ans et 7 mois

Great, infill 90% surely will give it enough strength
- Perry replied il y a 9 ans et 7 mois
  
  Almost done with my design. Just waiting for filament to arrive in the mail so I can print. My design will use many of Gael’s original servo bed and has a printable shaft. HAd to spend a fair amount of time hollowing out the arm and wrist parts but there is a straight run for all the tendons now.

    Which program(s) are you using, during re-editing Gaël’s STL files ?

        The shaft and servo adapter feels good enough for me.
