In lockdown (again) so am returning to this project (again). Been working on my two actuator neck mechanism. Installed continuous rotation servos (forgetting how they operate and tested. Result, broken neck.

Hi CArLa,
This is definitely not a project for a beginner!

En réponse à - CArLa a publié une note Hey, I`m thinking about buying a printer for building an InMoov but the printer has only one jet. Do you think, that there will be problems with printing things like the rings for the eyes […]

Hi Nabeel, To get CAD files you pretty much have to reverse engineer them for your self. I\’ve been working on mine (on and off) over the last three years (using Onshape).

En réponse à - Nabeel Ahmad Khan a publié une note Hey members, I have seen here are only STLs files available, could you please tell me about CAD files I want customization.

Nice, nylon for the gears and splines should work a treat.

Not just the screw but the little thickness of the plastic horn under the head of the screw also.

Has anyone considered how much weight is being carried by the tiny little screw down the centre of the servo drive shaft that holds the horn onto the shaft? How big is on those servos, 1.5-2mm, 3 maybe?

Hi Gael,
I made some test dove tails and they went together very nicely. I did find that there was some flexing/distortion so I\’m adjusting. Was there an engineering reason for that style of dove tail?

En réponse à - Reece a publié une note I’ve been working on truing up the Torso plates to get them to align better using a parametric modeler. Hopefully that will make adjustments easier and accuate. Here’s where I am so far. […]

I think that a function called « loft » would be the tool for the task. It would involve sketching the profiles at various points along the arm then lofting through them.
I have been using the plates from the torso as templates to « extrude » new parts. This has then allowed me to align the various openings and made these uniform in size.…En afficher davantage

That\’s great, It was something that started bothering me the more I thought about it. I expect that for the service duty this is being put to that these are not a concern. I expect I\’ve been among big machinery too long and with the self teaching over the years I\’ve probably over analyzed this.

I’m trying to keep the parts as close to the originals as I can for this exercise. Here I’ve relieved the corners and standardized the dovetails. A 0.3mm gap…En afficher davantage

This looks great and seems to run really well. I\’ve become concerned about the application of servos this way. Have any had the drive shaft get pulled out of the servo in these linear actuator applications? What about the place where the little screw holds the servo horn onto the splined shaft, any failed there?
