Marten de Groot posted an update 9 years, 2 months ago

Before I can start with my complete InMoov, I need to upgrade my UM2 filament spool-holder.
I’ve ordered some COLORFABB_XT spools with 2.2kg filament 🙂
Not sure if XT filament is the right choice for some mechanical parts.
- Mindless replied 9 years, 2 months ago
  
  yep… Colorfabb is great stuff, iv tried every brand/type out there ,, i do a lot of printing,,, In Australia i use “Blueprinted” filaments which is pretty good quality for a cheap filament Colorfabb is hard to get here and its bloody expensive..
  I only use PLA you would surprised how tough the stuff when printed correctly – you wont have any…[Read more]

    Thanks for your information.
    I get lucky to live in the Netherlands, the shipping costs are free when I order one spool.
    And with the 2.2kg spools it’s 30% less in price.
    
    I’m sure I need to play with some settings (temps and max speed).
    I hope to start this evening with some tests 🙂
    
    I’ve used CollorFabb PLA for some time now and this prints…[Read more]
    - Mindless replied 9 years, 2 months ago
      
      Its worth having a go at trying other other filaments but iv found you really cant beat good quality PLA when its printed correctly,, its hard so its good for gears and moving parts It prints like a dream compered to other filaments,,, and it doesn’t destroy the planet,,,
      I’v been R&D on 3d printers full-time for about 4 years now, mainly on d…[Read more]
      
      Marten de Groot replied 9 years, 2 months ago
      
      CollorFabb PLA is good material anyway.
      XT can handle a higher temp when it’s printed, this part is a positive thing if InMoof stays for a long day in sunlight.
      So maybe I will use XT for some outside parts and all others with PLA 🙂
Marten de Groot posted an update 9 years, 2 months ago

The new printed shaft fits well and it looks that it can handle the rotation.
- Perry replied 9 years, 2 months ago
  
  Nice. I am printing up my version now. See my post above.
- Gael Langevin replied 9 years, 1 month ago
  
  This is certainly getting along well !!
  Following your progress from close by, Marten!
Marten de Groot posted an update 9 years, 2 months ago

So, the new hexagonal shaft / Small_Gear and Servo_adapter files are uploaded 🙂
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1824042
I will test this soon and will share a video later this week.
- rodolfo rojas replied 9 years, 2 months ago
  
  Thanx Marteen you are very fast, Great
  - Marten de Groot replied 9 years, 2 months ago
    
    Haha 🙂 If the time is there, it can be go fast 😉
    
    How about you, any progress with your “Right” hand ?
    - rodolfo rojas replied 9 years, 2 months ago
      
      slow but sure, when I finish it , you will know, Marten 🙂
Marten de Groot posted an update 9 years, 2 months ago

Instead of a DogBone shaft, I’ve designed a new small Wrist_Gear and servo-adapter and will use a 6mm hexagonal shaft.
I hope the 6mm hexagonal shaft is strong enough 🙂
Tomorrow I will print all parts and if it works fine, I will include these parts to the Wrist upgrade set @ Thingiverse.
- rodolfo rojas replied 9 years, 2 months ago
  
  Great, infill 90% surely will give it enough strength
  - Perry replied 9 years, 2 months ago
    
    Almost done with my design. Just waiting for filament to arrive in the mail so I can print. My design will use many of Gael’s original servo bed and has a printable shaft. HAd to spend a fair amount of time hollowing out the arm and wrist parts but there is a straight run for all the tendons now.
    - Marten de Groot replied 9 years, 2 months ago
      
      Hi Rodolfo and Perry,
      
      @linuxrodo
      Yeh, I think it’s fine 🙂
      Just started to print all the parts.
      
      @perry-scartozzi
      I can’t wait to see your idea 🙂
      Which program(s) are you using, during re-editing Gaël’s STL files ?
      
      Perry replied 9 years, 2 months ago
      
      I am using Solidworks. I explained to Gael below in my thread about my back cover how I modify the STL files.
      
      Marten de Groot replied 9 years, 2 months ago
      
      Thanks Perry,
      To share your info about that ! 🙂
      
      Almost done with all the parts.
      Only missing the small Wrist gear.
      
      The shaft and servo adapter feels good enough for me.
      I hope the length from the shaft is OK 🙂
      If yes, I will upload all parts to Thingiverse in 30 minutes 😉
      
      Marten de Groot replied 9 years, 2 months ago
      
      All new files are uploaded: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1824042
Marten de Groot posted an update 9 years, 2 months ago

I\’ve uploaded all Wrist upgrade files to Thingiverse:
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1824042
Enjoy… and don\’t forget to share your results 🙂
- rodolfo rojas replied 9 years, 2 months ago
  
  Really Fantastic, I’m “hands on it” , and ready to upgrade my inmoov’s right hand
  - Gael Langevin replied 9 years, 2 months ago
    
    Great Marten!
    It’s added to the InMoov Derivative Collection:

      Thanks Rodolfo and Gaël !
      
      @linuxrodo
      I hope you get your “hands on the Right hand !” 🙂
      
      And Gaël,
      Thanks for sharing !
Marten de Groot posted an update 9 years, 2 months ago

Today I received my new Lenovo Thinkpad 8,3″ and the DogBone shaft 🙂
Later this day, I hope to finish the last things for the new Wrist DogBone shaft.
(I need to change some small things to makethe DogBone shaft fit between the small Wrist gear and to the servo DogBone adapter)
Marten de Groot posted an update 9 years, 2 months ago

I’ve connect all fishing lines to the fingers and the servo’s.
All runs more freely and looks OK for me, here the test video with a complete Arm/Hand/Fingers:
- Perry replied 9 years, 2 months ago
  
  That is awesome. No tensioning spring is the best feature! I guess you could add a tension spring like you had in your single finger tutorial.
  I think this is pretty innovative which begs the question what does the rest of your bot look like?
  - Marten de Groot replied 9 years, 2 months ago
    
    Hi Perry,
    Yes for sure I will include the springs which I’m using with my Finger_Starter kit.
    This makes programming a closed position more easy and they are to safe the servo mechanical way 🙂
    - Perry replied 9 years, 2 months ago
      
      Sounds like it is time to follow you on Thingiverse 🙂
      
      Marten de Groot replied 9 years, 2 months ago
      
      🙂
      I think after this weekend I will upload all files, which are needed to upgrade the Wrist part and this includes the new ServoBed for the small servo’s and the Wrist servo.
      I can’t see that these smaller servo’s can hold it for a longer period 🙂
      But so far it looks good and including the springs I think it’s safe enough to use them!
      
      rodolfo rojas replied 9 years, 2 months ago
      
      Really fantastic, you did it 🙂
      
      Marten de Groot replied 9 years, 2 months ago
      
      Thanks Rodolfo !
      And all are still running with MRL 🙂
- Gael Langevin replied 9 years, 2 months ago
  
  Very nice Marten!
  It’s very interesting to see how you managed the wrist servo, I guess we could add a second servo for wrist abduction. That would be a great extra feature. (Hand Mini breakout Nervo Boards and Nervo boards would need to be transformed and all scripts and gestures as well though…)
  Will you test it running continuously full 10…[Read more]
  - Marten de Groot replied 9 years, 2 months ago
    
    Hi Gaël,
    
    I’m happy with this update, it helps a lot to run all the fishing lines more freely !
    If the small servo’s are still a life after a stress test…
    There is more space left for other functions.
    For the stress test I need to make a nice script or better just use a simple Ardiuno random sketch.
    So I don’t need a laptop to be on all the…[Read more]
    - Marten de Groot replied 9 years, 2 months ago
      
      BTW, for the Thump I will make a other pulley.
      The one which I’m using now are a bit to big 🙂
      All other fingers are fine enough.
      
      anthony replied 9 years, 2 months ago
      
      Great idea Marten ! thank for sharing
      
      Marten de Groot replied 9 years, 2 months ago
      
      Thanks Anthony !
      
      I hope to upload all the STL’s tomorrow.
      Tomorrow I will receive my ordered DogBone shaft which is 108mm instead of 89mm 🙂
      
      Marten de Groot replied 9 years, 2 months ago
      
      So, the files are on Thingiverse: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1824042
Marten de Groot posted an update 9 years, 2 months ago

Finally the new ServoBed is done and fits very well.
For now I’m using a 98mm DogBone drive shaft from a tamiya RC truck.
Later, I will order this one:

- rodolfo rojas replied 9 years, 2 months ago
  
  Very nice work. I’m waiting to see the fingers and wrist working together. Fantastic
  - Marten de Groot replied 9 years, 2 months ago
    
    Thanks Rodolfo,
    Here a video from this complete setup:
    
    Tomorrow I will start to connect all the finger fishing-lines to the servo-pulley’s 🙂
    
    It looks good so far 😉
    - Perry replied 9 years, 2 months ago
      
      Once again nice work. It would be great to have a printable shaft for the wrist as opposed to a dog bone. Just another part I would have to wait for when I want to try something late at night. I thought you had a different servo offset in your previous vid and didn’t need the universal joint functionality
      
      Marten de Groot replied 9 years, 2 months ago
      
      Thanks Perry,
      
      A printable shaft would be cool, I only think it’s not strong enough !
      And DogBone shafts are very basic parts which are used in RC cars.
      Most local dealers will selling them.
      
      About the servo, in the first test video I was using a “Low Profile” servo.
      For some reason, these servo’s will not run with a Arduino !
      For this reason I…[Read more]

Marten de Groot posted an update 9 years, 2 months ago

The Servobed is updated, so tonight I can mount the Wrist servo and measure the distance between the small Wrist-Gear and the servo.
To finish this Wrist update, I only need to print the servo link.
Then it’s time to mount the Hand and all the fingers 🙂 (I can’t wait…)
Marten de Groot posted an update 9 years, 2 months ago
- rodolfo rojas replied 9 years, 2 months ago
  
  Nice, now it works
  - Marten de Groot replied 9 years, 2 months ago
    
    Yes 🙂
    But, I still need to update some things.
    Like the sevobed, so I can mount the Wrist servo on it.
    And still some fine-tuning between the servo and the small gear.
    
    I hope to finish this tomorrow.
