Maria has Legs
The three mid sections are on the legs!

Very nice

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.-
This is looking very nice. Even better that you have the neopixel reacting to the PIR data. Cool stuff.

I will be interested to see the rest of the robot on this base and to see it working

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.-
Looking good

Wow! The legs look great.

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?
-
I went with some custom support in the end. It took just over 8 hours for each half. I’m printing everything in white. But yes I think it might look better if some of the parts were black, just to break things up a bit. Nice thing about this project is you can always just redo and change things.

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. -

The non-motorized version of the “Feet and Ankles” are prepared for a long day of shoe shopping.

Very interesting view in the life of InMoov.
I wonder what Robert and Leo talk about when you leave the room?-
Yeah, they look like they saw some things

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. -
Frank Parks posted a new activity comment 5 years ago
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.
-
In mine, I went the other way, White background with a black logo.
Same process, pause the print at the first layer of the logo, to look so much better than painting.

Maria’s Chest
Adding the Chest assembly accentuates InMoov’s uniqueness; InMoov is a striking work of art.
Creations that combine innovative engineering with artistic style are rare.

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.-
You don’t happen to have video of it working?
Looks good.

Maria’s Head Added to Torso
The head and articulated neck were added to the PETG Torso. I like the flexibility of the new neck.
The life like expression capability is intriguing.

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. -

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

Thanks for your comment,
There are a couple of us who are showing the way now,
There is only so much that can be conveyed with words and pictures, and with so many languages, sometimes a moving image can be better.

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…[Read more]

Quarantine Violation – InMoov Has Escaped.
InMoov in disguise believes no will notice an escape from quarantine.
The 6 volt, 12 amp-hour, battery allows InMoov to be quite mobile. The Raspberry Pi 3 and the USB WiFi allow InMoov to be autonomous. InMoov just needs to occasionally find a battery charger.

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

Very nice, You should do a short video showing how it works.
