    Hay Guys & Girls -Mr Gail
    I almost finished organizing all the files and stuff for my Modded Inmoov Arm – I will be posting it on Wevolver and NoT Thingiverese ,,,
    I found this YouTube Video on my downtime that a though was really worth sharing even though its got nothing to do with Inmoov but at that some time it could – ,, anyway this will be…[Read more]

    Hay Guys,,, Not sure how many of ya have seen this,,,, but this Dude is my kind of Robotic Engineer and deserves A+++

    • Thanks for posting this mindless. I have watched it 3 times so far and can’t get enough. If you go to their website check out their ‘singer’

      • No worrries Perry,,, i thought is was rather cool and worth sharing 🙂
        P.S- I posted one more that is very interesting

  • Uploaded a couple of plates for InMoov’s back on Thingiverse, http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1616318
    As I said in the notes , if anyone has Myrobotlabs logo in an STL. I would be happy to make a battery door with that on it to.

    Some more Mod work on the Forearms,,, The Female Receiver (Hinge /Bolt Section) has been Thickened up a lot to make it as Strong as Possible ( there’s still 3 to 4mm Clearance during Rotation Cycle ) — the Interior has been Gutted-Out so only the Servo Bed Mounts are left ( and the Section where i Stitched to the x2 Parts together),,,

    No Finished Inmoov this Year but made a lot of Modded Structural Progress and Tried Many Different R&D ideas,–, Im designing with a lot of future ideas in mind — so here is a Pic of Me Instead — Since i Post Here a fair bit its Always Good to have a Real Face to a Name–,,

    • You are physically younger than I expected!
      The question now is, will you pose next to your robot or again with a bus the next time we see you?

    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.

        • 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)

    • 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]

    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.
              🙂

    More for the Newbies ,,, but this is how to hold the Screw & Driver in one hand for “Hot Tapping” Screws in– you have about 20sec to tap the Screw in– heat with a lighter or candle until you feel it starting to burn your finger tip,,- this will make a Perfect Tap without “Stressing the Part”

    Let’s rock this Mother F’er!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • 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.

            • Yep,, I agree Mr Gael- ,, I was playing around with them last night and the Endballs are 12mm Día with a 7mm Día shaft which is just too small– –

              I’ll start by printing a series a of Endballs and shafts at different sizes – but I think 18mm or 20mm will be a good size but won’t know for sure until I start printing tonight ,, I know a few tricks…[Read more]

      • Mine actually made themselves two parts after a couple of days use. No CAD needed. I wanted to preserve the original geometry because it offers about the right range of travel. So I glued them back on and instead of a short bolt I thru-drilled the hole and placed a much longer bolt through it. The bolt passes through the neck and into the…[Read more]

        • That was the original plan just to get a better resolution on the Ballends by printing them separately – but while I’m at it and Mr Gael makes a good point they really are to small and fragile for a major movement system,,,so I will build a Larger version of the Endballs so people have the option to pick and choose –,, Like always I’m a littl…[Read more]

          • 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!

            • Just been taking a real close look at the design,- the Receivers Cups are actually a bit oversized for the Ballends (or made strong depend on your point of view) so that’s a bonus ,,, – the appearance won’t change very much at all,,, Just finished I couple test prints of different sized Ballends,,,, and what a differences a couple of Milli…[Read more]

    Couple of pics of the Drive Screws for the Bicep/Shoulder and a Wormgear that is printed without “Support Material” that I have been playing around with – done half a dozen test Prints to find the right Setting in Slic3r – the fail ones are there to show the area I wasn’t happy with ,,,, [Read more]

    • As you can see the worm gear still needs a bit of work,, the slight Taper at the top was settings error ( printed to slow and to hot)—but its tough as hell ,,,took 40kg of pressure with ease – got the 100% infill dialled in nicely which is Make or Break when it comes to the Strength of the Part,,,,

      • Nice prints!
        As you know I print InMoov in ABS, and try to print everything without support.
        I print the worm gear and bicep piston parts without support.
        I never run fans in my printer to cool down the parts, but I have set an aquarium pump with a tiny tube that travels all the way to the printing head, which then blows precisely an air stream…[Read more]

        • Ha ,,Ha,, and I thought I was the only one crazy enough to have a Air Pump from a Fish Tank on a Printer (But my son wasn’t impressed that I killed all the fish) – but anyway,,, that was the only way I found to get good Print in ABS too—,, the good thing about using PLA+ is it forces me to design without gluing to be an option which is chall…[Read more]

    I don’t know guys,,,- a little bit of File work and trim that bit of the side and should be all good,,?

    • I have good luck sculpting the perfect shape while it is still hot. Sometimes I melt a kg in a pan and hand mold a perfect part. In fact I sold my printer long ago.

      • Ha,,Ha ,,Why didn’t I think of that,,, I’v got boxes full of useless parts that I’ve been saving until I can find a way to recycle them—Cheers Perry-

        Ohhh ,,,,,What section of the hospital do I go too for 3rd and 4th degree burns,,?

        • I traditionally were a heavy aluminum foil hat to protect my brain from solar flares and government helicopters. I peel off layers and wrap them around my fingers, That insulates them so there are no burns. Do they teach yo nothing in school over there?

          • Oh my God,,,,, I’v got a neighbour that matches that description right down to the aluminium foil on the finger tips,,,,,,,
