  Woooii nice! Cameras are set up and tracking working, cool !
  ABS or PLA?

    Hi Gael very impressed with tracking works really well. He is in ABS stronger that way. Can you tell me if the jaw is supposed to move when you run the track humans script ? I am struggling with that at the moment and the jaw works when I manually test it but not when I run the test script from the site. I sorted the log my Inmoov out thanks.…En afficher davantage

      Hello Richard,
      Which script are you using? And which version of MRL?
      The jaw moves when InMoov speaks even when it is in tracking mode.

3d printing with ease
Please understand – I definitely do not want to create product placement in my blog – just let me tell you my InMoov printing difficulties.
I first thought ABS and badly failed, nothing sticked to my print bed. Then listening and reading many experts opinions I switched to PLA. I gladly agreed because nothing worked with ABS…En afficher davantage

  A Perfect Print Bed is like the quest for Holy Grail. All infos about it are welcome.
  What is the « rescue » material you finally use from mtplus?
  I tried so many things and materials for the perfect printing bed before starting InMoov project. Blue tape, UhU glue on glass, Buildtak, Ninja Board, ABS slurry on acrylic, bakelite and so on. I use…En afficher davantage

    I use a Velleman Vertex K8400 printer with an unheated glass bed with BuildTak. PLA sticks well to it. The BuildTak has to be replaced about once per month. I have never tested ABS. The printer has three fans to cool down the PLA. I have to use a lot of force to break any part. It they break, you may have to little infill or to thin walls. I use a…En afficher davantage

      Hi Mats
      never seen BuildTak before but the web page promises exactly what I got with my material. I haven’t touched my printbed for 3 month’s now with printing times in average probably 3 hours/day.

    It looks to be kept secret what material it is. It is also rather expensive but after having encountered so many problems I gave it a try (beside other materials) – and at least for me and my PLA-HT it works like a charm.
    When I compare ABS prints with the PLA-HT the second is much more robust (like I can not brake the large lower arm parts…En afficher davantage

  Buildtak didn’t work with ABS for me, I managed to nearly destroy the surface after the third print. ABS temperature is too high for the Buildtak and causes to scare the surface rapidly. I didn’t try with PLA. But I have seen very good results at various 3D print shows.

Replacement Servo for omoplate

After burning quite a few HS805BB I wanted to try another smaller servo which had interesting specs, the tgy-mg959 v2.
I have added the redesigned holster which maintains the geometry to thingiverse (look vor InMoov omoplate).
It should also work for rotate and shoulder and sure would look sharp on the robot.…En afficher davantage

  Awesome good test and results! Thanks for sharing Juerg.
  Definitely something usefull for to make the servos smaller. Speed seems to be the same as the HS805BB, what are the torque specs?

    Hi Gael
    Thanks for your comment.
    I bought it for the hobbyking statement 30kg/6v and 0.15s/6v for 60 deg. The servo I got is named v2, but you can also find other statements where only 15 kg are given. Do not know but performance looks to be acceptable and I am quite sure it could be good for other HS805 replacements. It is rather easy to change…En afficher davantage

Salve ho completato tutta la stampa 3d di inmoov inseriti tutti i servi + scheda arduino mega e uno e non riesco a far funzionare il software . la funzione tracking imoovhead(myrobotlab) non muove i servi.
- Gael Langevin replied il y a 10 ans et 6 mois
  
  Hi nuararosario,
  Can you give more details about you have done and installed?
  Does a simple test with Arduino sketch, controlling just one servo works?
  Are you using the Nervo Board or did you build something yourself?
  More details will give us info to help you better.

Hey guys , I’d like receiving advices to buy a suitable cost/performances 3D printer for my « creature ».

  Hello Pierluigi,
  The 12x12x12cm is the minimum required, but I would recommand a larger print bed, because some parts are precisely 12×12 and your printer might « hit the edges » if not bigger. ABS is my material of use, but there countless InMoov printed in PLA out there. some PLA have now almost the same robustness as ABS.
  You will be better off…En afficher davantage

I\’ve finally printed my way down to the stomach (Started at the finger) and I was wondering when you might release the abdomen like i saw on your video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9G8FDBgAxu0 I sure am looking forward to it. Now About those legs 🙂
Thanks for giving this project
- Gael Langevin replied il y a 10 ans et 6 mois

  As you may have read on the forum, I didn’t release these parts because they are directly related to the leg mechanisms which are under development. These parts are obsolete for that matter, I rather upload the parts when I’m sure to be satisfied the whole structure.

I had several ideas when I started to print the head. The large servo was more expensive than a small, so I tried to replace it with a standard size sero.

    I use a Raspberry PI Camera module connected directly to the Raspberry CSI port. I has really good quality for still pictures and video stream is OK. I tried to use it with MRL and the OpenCV service, but I got some error messages. I will sort it out with the developers of MRL. Thay are all very nice, skilled and helpful people.

      Others have tested the Raspi Camera module into MRL with success. Your errors might be related to which version of MRL you are using.
      When I tested the camera with the Raspi2, I was using version 1.1.107 and it was working fine, though with latency.

This is a part of the Bicep. I use PLA, and it's not as soft as ABS. So when I tried to mount them together, it was impossible, because it wouldn't flex. But PLA gets soft at relativley low temperatures, so I used a heatgun at a low setting to heat the connections. After heating the plastics for a short while, it was easy to mount them together.…En afficher davantage
