S2 Scribbler - Pimping My Ride - 3D printing "Mini Skirts" now with Gripper Arm

mindrobots

Wow! That's one big arm!

Is the arm an accessory to the S2 or is the S2 an accessory to the arm??

You are really making me want a 3D printer. My wife is going to come hunt you down if I buy one!!

You need to do the scanning leds.

Like the Cylons had in Battlestar Galacta.

Final Blenderising has enabled me to slot quite easily the base servo to the bottom skirt piece I have already designed.

The Arm is working better than I thought (5 servos) and is sufficiently dexterous to pick up pencils (hmmm that give me an idea)

Good idea to put it on the back. Did you have to add counterweights to the front or can the 3rd wheel handle it ok?

Gareth

Your confusing me now..... let me go look.....
........ I have done so many mods that i don't know what is front or back .....
.....The gripper arm now will put it weight onto the single "Boggy" wheel which is ....the back of the S2..(where the Neo Pixels are).

I had hoped that it would fit on the front however as you point out it did tilt forward lifting the "Boggy" wheel off the floor.
The arm only weighs 100 grammes thats including the servo even.

The S2 does not mind calling its back the front and vicaverca, its just the operator/programmer that has to do the brain gymnastics.

You know, if you give the arm a longer reach, it can reach over the top of the S3.5 like a scorpion!

OK, I'll go away now........and leave you to your work!

Printed a new "Mini Skirt" with cradle for Servo.... so its now mobile...
I have connected a Mouse which makes it easy to test all movement possibilities :-

Gareth

Thanks for correcting my Typo..nice details...
In my defence it was late and the boggie man (also spelled bogieman, boogeyman, or boogie man) tapped the window........

This is perfect! Now you have a Scribbler that can draw and change colors!!

Very nice Gareth!

The last photo on post #40 is really very cool!!!!!

The S2 put itself the pen into the pen tube!

As said "mindrobots" (post #42) the S2 will be able to change pen.

Gareth,
print a Pen-Case on top of the S2 with 3 pens (red green blue) and give the S2 the ability to change pen in order to scribble with colors!!!!!


Amazing work!
Congratulations!!!!!!

Whit

The arm could also be a very interesting pen lifter too.
