What happened here?

It was all fine last night and I came this morning to…. That?

X2D PETG default profile
#technology #3d #3dprinting
I’m a sophomore in high school and this is my first robotic arm I have designed and 3D printed from scratch!

I’ve been working on a robotic arm for the back of my SpotMicro over the past few months that was inspired by Boston Dynamics Spot Arm.

The arm weighs around 1.1 lbs and uses MG996R servos. I designed and 3D printed the entire arm myself, making this my first robotic arm built from scratch!

I’m still working on reducing the wobble, and I haven’t tested its payload capacity yet. The video shows it moving at full speed, and slowing it down through the controller helps reduce the wobble somewhat. I also haven’t mounted it to anything yet and would rather not screw it down into a table

For the electronics, I’m using a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and a PCA9685 servo driver. (I also am still working on a GitHub for it)

I’d love to hear your suggestions for improving the stability, reducing wobble, or making the design better. What would you change?

(The arm is printed in petg which allows it to be lightweight and pretty strong I have not seen any bending yet)

Thanks for any feedback!
