Slip-On Plastic Forearm for the RoboNova-1 BiPedal Robot

Yes, even this design can be downloaded for free once I am fully funded for my RoboGuts S.T.E.A.M. Education Program Kits; IF each viewer donates just five dollars I'll be funded almost overnight and then all my designs become free downloads! The fastest way to get all my STL files for free is to donate five dollars to help fund school materials...once I have 3,500 dollars I'll convert all these files to free downloads. https://www.gofundme.com/roboguts-kits-lessons This forearm is designed to slip over the existing forearm and be temporarily stuck on using a drop or two of rubber cement or other easy-to-remove sticky substance...You can find a bunch of 1mm thick aluminum alloy part files I've created in the 3D Content Central Library online...it's free! http://www.3dcontentcentral.com These files are importable to the Microsoft Robotics Studio, another free PC software tool. I don't know the strengths of the MakerBot printing materials nor the tolerances needed in design hence I need a MakerBot to learn and adjust my sketches to conform properly... For those not clever enough to make large overhangs I added the flat version for MakerBoting. I should note that sketch orientation of designs is -90 degrees out of whack from SolidWorks to the MakerBot files. This is another entry to the Makezine.com/go/makerbot contest blog.makezine.com/archive/2010/04/makerbot_giveaway.html Instructions: After you make this with a 3D printer use a rubber grommet or tape whatever to snugly fit your small short laser pen into the 12mm diameter mounting bores. I plugged my laser into Port 15 on the RoboNova-1 and set it to turn ON/OFF using a TTL-2-PWM adapter easily found in hobby stores. Make a few of these with your 3D printer, give them a try then send me six please. If you successfully make this send me the build-file and machine type so it can be uploaded here for others to use.
