InMoov - Low Back Skull / Neck Joint - Modification

thingiverse

Many thanks to Gael Langevin, creator of the InMoov 3D-printed robot (http://www.inmoov.fr), Bob Houston, creator of the Articulated Neck (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:845793), and monnerby for his Modified InMoov Head (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:992918).\nThis thing is a modified version of the neck and lower back skull alternative. The goal was to move the rear servo to a position that allows a channel through the neck.\nIn the picture, there are two pieces without modification. The ring comes from Gael Langevin's original head design. The Neck is monnerby's creation.\nThree parts were changed. The two sides of the lower back skull were merged together. Additionally, holes were removed and a hold for the rear servo was added. To leave as much space as possible, the servo was turned 90 degrees and moved as far back as possible. An asymmetric position (3 mm) is necessary to leave enough space for the gear.\nThe gear itself is designed to be screwed to the servo horn before connecting it to the servo.\nThere were two goals for the upper neck joint modification. On one hand, a lot of space is needed inside the neck joint, especially at the junction with the lower neck joint. On the other hand, it should be possible to print with as little support as necessary. Currently, support is only required for the lateral connectors and internal "guiding knobs".
