    • Great picture!! I jumped a few times on the community to see what was new but didn’t take the time to write anything, I was just too busy.
      But I want to say that your InMoov is looking very promising and I really like the pictures that you have posted on the 3d printing forum (french).

    i find this articulation interesting

    • no idea, what is this good for?

      • @Juerg, I’m guessing Amby sees it for the torso and stomach displacements.
        The two armonics drive must be for the shoulders. Though when you know how much an armonic drive cost, you back off a little. 🙂
        @Amby, yes, it is on that U-joint principle that I had designed the stomach rotations.

    Hopefully it gives me now a better “HangOver” result 🙂

    Next week I will go further with the servo pully’s including the springs.
    The spring will be used, to function like a servo_saver and at the same time to stretch the braided fishing line.…[Read more]

  • Sebastien posted an update 9 years, 1 month ago

    Yeah, MyRobotLab the InMoov brain sowtware is also on the Shoulders covers, pretty nice tatoo 🙂

  • Here some pictures from the new ServoBed:
    I’ve replaced two servo’s more to centre, to get some more hight.
    I’m almost finished with the last RotaWrist parts.
    When these are ready, I need to check the RobCableFront part.
    I need to (re)move some holes in this part.

  • Last night and today I’ve printed all the RobParts.
    Now I’m printing a new ServoBed and tomorrow I will start with all RotaWrist parts.
    When that’s ready, the complete ForArm and Hand are ready for use 🙂

  • Servo Pulley can now be downloaded: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1052776
    I will upload more sizes later these day\’s.

  • So, during some spare time this day’s, I’ve printed a complete Right hand.
    All in PLA and everything fits well 🙂
    My next step is to start with the Right underarm parts, so I can install all servo’s and connect these to all the Fingers.

    Here some pictures from the complete Right hand:

    • Woouuiii !
      Nice prints! Well now the forarm and you just about ready to have a Right hand!

      • Haha, I can’t wait…
        I’m printing the last day’s at Day and Night… 🙂
        I hope the forearm is ready in about two day’s.

        Next day’s I will check all the lengths which each finger needs to lift them completely with the new servo pulley.
        So I can start re-designing the pulley for each finger.

  • For the complete Right hand, the Thump is ready:

  • Here a video again, with the new servo pulley which is specially designed for a Finger movement.
    It’s designed for servo’s which can turn a full 180 degrees.
    This Pulley gives a better torque and there’s less change to move to much to destroy the servo or finger.
    There are two option about the spring (in this video I’m using a elastic cord…[Read more]

    • Nice!
      So the white is the elastic cord and it runs all the way to the end of the finger, if I juge the white spot at finger tip.
      What kind of elastic cord? Don’t you think it will stretch more and more over time?
      I also can see the asymetric effect on the black braided line.

      • Hi Gael and thanks for your comment and time 🙂

        The elastic cord is a basic peace which you normally will use for clothes.
        It’s now just to do the job of the spring.
        I’ve ordered some springs and have to wait they will be here.

        I hope the asymmetric effect is in a positive way 🙂
        At the end of the finger position, the servo can give more…[Read more]

  • Here some better pictures the new servo Finger pully together:

    • Interesting design! I like the idea to set the servo horn within the pulley. They might be a bit too thick to fit under arm covers though… Let us know.

  • I’ve made a other servo pully.
    I hope to get soon the springs because they are needed in this design.
    Here two pictures from a mounted pully at a servo and a picture with some views from the drawing:

    • Hi Marten
      I think before changing the pullies we should agree what the mechanical requirements are for the fingers.
      In my arms I use mg996R and they can turn about 110 deg to the left and to the right (total 220). So when Gael says he can move all fingers with the exception of the middle one with an unmodified HK15298 servo which allows only 45…[Read more]

      • Hi Juerg,

        Thanks for your input about this.

        The good thing to use a 180 degrees pully, is that there is less change to break any mechanical parts.
        A other good thing is, there is a higher resolution to place/hold the finger at his position.
        Have you seen my Finger Starter video ?
        Here I’m using a MG996R servo and it turns a full 180 degrees…[Read more]

  • just started to print the ServoBed Part.
    I’ve edited the drawing to make it more 3D printer compatible 🙂
    By some servo mount places it wasn’t the best way to print.
    Here the new drawing:

  • So here a simple test video from the FingerStarterKit:
    (At this moment, I only use the default servo pulley which is included by the servo)

    • Here the Arduino code, which has a servo slow function included:

      Servo myservo; // create servo object to control a servo

      int potpin = 0; // analog pin used to connect the potentiometer
      int val; // variable to read the value from the analog pin

        • Hi Marten,
          I always like to see videos, they tell so much more than words!
          That carbon filament is great looking!
          I did make a Arduino script when I was testing the carbone foam sensors on the finger starter. I’m wondering if I still can find it in all my data. It could maybe help you or others, as I recall it was a bit of a different approach.

          • Found the script back in my data base:

            #include

            const int servoPin = 3;
            const int sensorPin = A0;
            int sensorReading;

            int pos = 0; // variable to store the servo position

            Servo myservo;

            void setup(){
            Serial.begin(57600);
            myservo.write(0); // Open finger.
            pos = 0;
            myservo.attach(servoPin );

            • Hi Gaël,

              Thanks for sharing your code to.

              The best way to use this sort sensor, is to include a servo slow (step-based movement) which I have included in my code.
              The code what I’ve shared isn’t the code what we need right now.
              It was just to test the reaction from the sensor as I showed you in Eindhoven.

              If we use a step-based movement, the…[Read more]

  • So, just finished the Finger Support plate for the servo and the Arduino board.
    I hope to have some spare time tomorrow to buy some glue for the finger parts.

    For the servo I will draw a smaller pulley so the servo can give more torque with less power.
    (original it use 90 degrees to move the finger up and down, I like to give it a try to use…[Read more]

    • Hey nice Marten!!
      I like that Carbon PLA. I remember the parts you showed me in Eindhoven, the quality was very good!
      Pulley rotates 90 degrees because the HK15298B digital servo recommended for the hand rotates only 90 degrees.
      That being said, you can use any servo you like with Finger Starter and of course model your own pulleys. 🙂

      • Hey Gael,

        The CarbonFil is more PET based !
        And yes, it’s nice material to use but it needs some attentions for the first layer.
        (OK I’m still playing with some settings like Nozzle Temp and PrintSpeed)

        About the servo:
        The thing what I hope to test, is that we can use smaller servo’s so we getting less weights in the Arms !

  • Finger Starter, the very first things i 3D print. A really good starting point on the InNoov project and robotics.
    If you can do a Finger you can print a Robot :-).
    Nails are paint by my daughter

    • Haha, It’s good that you say that the nails where painted by your daughter 🙂

      For a first print it looks very well printed.
      Have fun with it.

  • Just finished the last finger pieces for the Finger Starter Kit.
    All are printed with CarbonFil with a 0.2mm layer hight.
    (I now, it’s better to use 0.1mm 🙂 )

    • Hey looks great. Many, many more parts to print however …
      I give a filing to the finger parts where they move against each other because the printing in layers creates imperfect vertical surfaces.
      I do not want your pieces get broken but does it feel like the you might brake the parts when assembling them? I broke several with PLA and ABS when…[Read more]

      • I don’t now yet with the fingers.
        The CarbonFil is great stuff and feels strong.
        I’ve used this to make some prototype parts for my Camera Gimbal.
        And it didn’t break 🙂
        For now I’m still waiting for advice about which glue I can use for this CarbonFil.

        I will come back to this question if I now more 😉

        • Hi
          thanks for your comment. What is your print bed made of and what temp / preparations do you need to make the pieces stick to it?

      • I got the same trouble. Happily with abs it can be repaired quickly with acetone.
        Some times after I found this tip, just heat to smooth the holes. It looks like Mats Önnerby tips with airgun to mount pla parts but with a solder iron.
        Have a look on this video :

        Hope it can help.

        • Hi Juerg and Sebastien,

          I’m still using the standard clean glass plate from the UM2.
          After each print, I’m cleaning the plate directly when it’s still hot.

          For CarbonFil I’m using a temp from 255 C and the heated bed is set to 60 C.
          I’m still playing with some settings.
          Most important thing is that the plate needs to be levelled well and very…[Read more]

          • I think I will sit down and create a video about my finger assembling techniques including the strings. Watch out for it.

    • Great prints Marten!
      In the video posted by Sebastien, the idea is great! Specially if you drilled the holes a bit too wide.
      But be sure that finger stays loose, in the video they are stiff, rigid, and that is not okay for the movement. The finger should move freely at each joint.

      • Haha, yes the video is good for all the joint parts.

        I was more focused how to glue all fingerparts together like part-1 with part-2 etc….
        CarbonFil is PET based and PET is difficult to glue normally.
        I hope the 30% of carbon-mix will make it easier to glue this together.
