Fred is going great and you have really helped a lot understand how to assemble an inmoov. It also shows, one should feel completely comfortable modding it. This child needs to mutate and change over generations to survive.
Modding also makes you go further in to the learning of how things work 🙂 Good news is there are a lot of Inmoov builders that bring knowledge to the group so we can all learn. Most of the printed mods in Fred were created by other talented builders. I am working on the power distribution and a different control system, but trying to make sure…[Read more]

Perry posted a new activity comment 2 years, 3 months ago
I will need to upload them to Thingiverse or something like that. Since I changed the worm gear you don’t need all the clearance around the old servo horn area which allowed me to reinforce that area substantially. I used the bearing sizes that you recommended in your post

Reinforced shoulder gearbox with Resin printed gears
That looks very nice. Make want to think about getting a resin printer 🙂 All jokes aside, the fingers would look good with resin as well.
where to find the stl files
Perry posted a new activity comment 3 years, 3 months ago
Great job Ray. The print look outstanding.
And that was done with what was then a very cheap CTC printer back in 2017. The printer also had errors in the calibration of the X and Y axis, so all joints had to be filed to make them fit.
So even with a crappy print, you can still build a working Inmoov 🙂

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. 🙂

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!
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.

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.

@mindless Actually there are fitment issues if you try to move the legs. Portions of the upper thigh hits the waist. Dremel fixed that all. No other big surprises. I didn\’t use the internal reinfordcements or threades rode. It is obvious they are pretty much for display and they do not have the degrees of freedom needed to function. Still they are cool.

Thank you Perry, down loaded them now and will fire up the 3D printer in the morning. Like the look of your robots back as one piece, did you print that as one piece or did you join multiple pieces?, looks very good.
Your slicer should tell you the amount of filament used and you can get the part weight for from that. You will have to do the work though. That way you will have exact weight for your print settings

Nice and smooth. Your print quality looks really good with no banding.
Looks can be deceiving, but thanks for the complement.
The shoulder pieces are probably the best parts on the whole robot, I’m more pleased at getting the ribbon to work through the bicep gear.

I am unable to snake my wires through there. The piston interferes. I have them bundled though and might have to unbundle them so they can fit. I am using servo extension leads though and not ribbon cable.
Wow, the cables fit through the gap. What happens when you rotate the arm? The arm cables have always been an issue on my InMoov, have run the forearm & hand in sleeving externally, but the shoulder cabling is still a mess. Great pictures, looking really good Ray
The cable relative to the shoulder moves in the gap, the cables relative to the bicep are stationary. The elbow piston clears the ribbon cable by a 2 mm inside the gear, gets a bit closer outside the gear on the bicep end but still clears it just.
Here you go Ray https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1798673
Perry, that is just what I need. That back looks like a single piece, but is several parts! Your InMoov is really fantastically finished. I need switch fillers if you are 3D designing any for the back?

I had to do the same as my printer was not perfectly calibrated. I scaled in the X and Y directions but not the Z as this would change the pitch.

Everything is a tradeoff. They are basically clones and can be modified in the same way as the 805\’s. A little less torque, a little less speed but definitely usable. I have been happy with them.

Where do you get the ball bearings? I like your work. For myself I like the idea of no ball bearings though. That is just my preference.

I like the idea of no ball bearings too, but as I began with my InMoov there was one problem, the circle holes are not realy round and the move of my head not realy even.

Cool design Perry, this is nice to give room for the tendons to run straight out from the wrist to the Servobed.
Looks great. This is a good inspiration
I am using Solidworks. I explained to Gael below in my thread about my back cover how I modify the STL files.
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 😉
All new files are uploaded: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1824042
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.
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 posted a new activity comment 6 years, 8 months ago
Hi Kevon. You are correct that the position in the back is for the tablet. Some people use other tables or raspberry PI\’s or other controllers to run the bot.
Sounds like it is time to follow you on Thingiverse 🙂
🙂 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!
Really fantastic, you did it 🙂
Thanks Rodolfo ! And all are still running with MRL 🙂
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?
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 🙂
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
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.

Hello Marten. I came to that exact same conclusion last night while assembling my tendons. They have been very finicky and I am not confident the spring system will hold up.

Nice job! Are you going to share the design? I would sure use it as I don’t have an on board computer either. Thanks
Great work and very nice adaptation. Which software do you use for to do that? It doesn’t look like Blender. It’s interesting to know because other builders might be interested to see how you re-worked your parts with only the STL at start.
Thanks for the explaination Perry. When exporting from Blender to STL format I use a plugin within Blender to check if parts are clean without inverted facets. This plugin did not exist when I started InMoov project, therefore some of my first parts could not come out clean 🙂 One of the reasons I do not create parts with too many round edges,…[Read more]
Hi, I’ve just started the project, so sorry if my question has been answered previously.
I though that the upper back was for mounting the tablet. does this mean the the robot can operate without the tablet?
Hi Kevon. You are correct that the position in the back is for the tablet. Some people use other tables or raspberry PI’s or other controllers to run the bot.
Making a back cover to fill up the Lenovo hole since I don’t us a tablet. It follows the lines of Gaels back design and matches the contours.

Drunkbot. NIce
I use the same chair technique on mine. I welded a section of pipe to it to bring him up to normal level. Slides right into Gaels mount.
Great ob and ingenuity in printing.
You must have great patience. I usually am waiting for the printer to stop to put parts on one at a time. I didn\’t realize how many parts there were until I saw you lay them all out.
In fact, the biggest parts are the last ones I prited. My Prusa i2 cannont build more than 7~8 cm height. So thought about building a Delta printer for bigger parts. However, in this case I couln’t wait and printed the big parts in two pieces. 🙂 I think I’ll built the Delta anyway for future parts.

Made some fake servos until I can afford more.
Looks great. What\’s the part on the right?
i’m also building an life-size R2D2… that’s one foot and the battery box 😀
R2D2 what a nice companion it would be for InMoov. Is it also available as open source or where did you get the .stl’s from?
yes it’s open source https://www.thingiverse.com/bobbyshomerul/collections/r2d2
Thanks for the update. Timely, my camera just arrived today.
Also I glued the camera to the eye but not really necessary and if you have trouble locating the eyeball then insert pins in the screw holes
Hey, this was awesome. I printed it up.
Finished the chest, things back together. Head coming together then off to the wiring rats nest in the back.
One piece chest tutorial posted to forum.
