Tertiarm - 3D printed robot arm

thingiverse

I have published a set of instructions on Instructables at http://www.instructables.com/id/Tertiarm-3d-Printed-Robot-Arm/. I've also added new parts to the project. This robot arm is based on Ikea's Tertial lamp, which features excellent kinematics that utilize springs to reduce servo loads. To build it, you'll need to cut down the beams - or use whatever length works for you. The design boasts five degrees of freedom and relies on standard-sized servos. For a comprehensive list of components and printable parts, check out the Bill Of Materials. I haven't created detailed instructions yet, but feel free to ask me any questions you may have.

For a closer look at its capabilities, check out the lifting power test video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4JGR529i1o. My printer is a Prusa i2 from RepRap. Here are my print settings: * Rafts: No * Supports: Doesn't Matter * Resolution: 0.2mm * Infill: 40-100%
