Bicep for your Robot

This is it!Today is the releasing day of the bicep, and the beginning of the shoulder.Gee, since the last post I had again to redesign SO many parts it is unbelievable. First the shoulder isn’t going to be like I thought because I encountered some direction problems, it didn’t look human anymore… It was freaky! the […]

Well, it’s been a while since I haven’t been able to print something. Holidays… I had been reviewing the concept of the shoulder. Not that my first system didn’t work, but I wanted to get really more DOF. Sometimes I’m amazed of how many parts  I have to design and redesign under Blender before to […]

I have been in contact with someone since a while now, and I can tell you that person is really working on InMoov’s hands. In fact, some suggestions came from him, for exemple the new brackets and the rotational bicep. Have a look at all his pictures, he did a great job. I am so […]

Power glove your robot hand

Feeling like actuating your robot hand with a PowerGlove? Added InMoovPowerGlove (Thanks to brianhomer) on thingiverse.This should get you going.The zip contains a PDF diagram for connections and a sketch to upload on your Arduino board.

Dilemna with "WristsmallV3" part

This will help, I am sure about it! There is a new tab on the blog which contains Assembly Sketchs for a more comprehensive perception. There is also other tabs that might interest you… I want to clear a dilemna with “WristmallV3” part. Some of the builders might think during it’s assembly to “WristlargeV3” that […]

Orange 3d printed hand

Why not in orange!see  http://rymdstekel.blogspot.pt/One recommendation I should suggest after having build a few hands, is to start lining the fishing rods from the servos to the finger tip. That way, when you make the knots at the tip, you can really pull and adjust the tension of the fishing rods. I found you can […]

Finally have been able to upload “thumb5” and “leftthumb5” on thingiverse.By the way, I made a modification on “bolt_entretoise1” to “bolt_entretoise2” because the previous version had oversized bolts in length, I expected people to just cut them. But seeing pictures from the builders, I realized it confused somehow their assembly. I also added a fastening […]

You should look at this video posted by brianhomer where he shows his final project. The project consist of using InMoov hand controlled through an Arduino with a power glove made by himself. see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qlC5OT_ICA The demonstration with the can definitly shows that finger tips need to have silicone patchs in order to grab objects correctly. […]

Alright, I have fixed thumb4 problem to thumb5. I actually have no idea why it became bigger and couldn’t fit wriargeV3 anymore. But I can’t seem to upload it to thingiverse on the moment. It’s been three days. I am located with a very poor internet connection at the moment. Hope this won’t be long. […]

I finally updated all fingers hinges to make it much easier for assembly. If you have an acurate printer there shouldn’t be anymore filling nor drilling. Although I have a quality reputated printer, holes shrink a little because of the overhang. I tried of making snap in parts like suggested Easton Lachapelle, but with the […]
