The right and left side HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensors were recently installed.

A small Arduino Nano controls the 16-element Neo-Pixel Ring.
When the PIR sensor detects a human, the Neo-Pixel heart beat increases pace and the color changes.

Maria’s legs are ready for connecting with the low stomach.
The legs will be attached using the one-meter long threaded rod and the round hip joints.

The Knees are bolted to the Tibia with four M5-0.8 x 35 mm bolts.

Maria\’s back door right and left were printed without support. Each one printed in 7.5 hours with 0.15 mm layer height. They look good in white; now I wonder if they should be black?

M5-0.8 nuts were installed before the upper and lower parts of the Tibia were glued together. Since these parts are PETG, I glued the sections together with 5-minute clear epoxy.

The “FootBoltHolder.stl” has a 10 mm hole for supporting InMoov with a one-meter long threaded rod.
The 10 mm diameter threaded rod is held in place with M10 washers and nuts. I used a M10-1.5 coarse threaded rod.

Very interesting view in the life of InMoov.
I wonder what Robert and Leo talk about when you leave the room?

The filament is Prusa 1.75 mm PETG Jet Black and PETG White.
I am now printing 24 hours a day with PETG. I love PETG filament with the Prusa i3 MK3S printer.

The shoulder logo was printed in Jet Black. After 52 minutes, the Prusa i3 MK3S printer paused and prompted me to unload the black filament and load the white filament. This shoulder matches the theme of the center element with white lettering on a black background.

My first InMoov is still on-the-run; the missing InMoov was built with the old neck design using PLA filament.
The new articulating neck is an excellent improvement.

Did you notice the shoulder pistons are visible in the photo?
Installing the “Pistonbase” and “PistonClavi” will make the shoulder installation easy.

Steve, your quality tear-down and rebuild video is quite an educational journey.
Thanks for sharing your helpful videos.

It helps to add the articulating neck during the build of the Torso.

The NeoPixel Ring video is great! Ray, your series of videos are very helpful to InMoov makers. Thanks.

InMoov’s new name is Maria.
Young Maria’s face reflects her pleasant personality with naive innocence.

The old missing InMoov head was printed with PLA. I like the new Prusa White and Jet Black PETG filaments. The prints are more uniform and stronger with very consistent color between rolls. The 0.15 mm layer height is a good balance bet…En afficher davantage

My InMoov is controlled by MyRobotLabs on a Raspberry Pi driving two Arduino Uno boards.

One Uno controls the Finger and the Head.
The second Uno detects objects with the PIR sensor. When a human enters the room, the heartbeat of InMoov’s 16-element NeoPixel Ring changes.

On the upper right is an amplified speaker and the microphone is on the l…En afficher davantage

I really like my finger starter kit. I have had it for a while and it has become a very valuable learning tool. This setup also speeds up the the testing and debugging of servos and robotics projects. — Frank
