This is a really nice multi-part assembly that should be very handy for budding robot engineers. It’s a nicely 3d printable version of an earlier Thingiverse design, which is laid out on just two sheets for easy printing. There’s also a clever OpenSCAD version which should allow for easy changes! Way to go bobbens. (And jjshortcut for the original design!)
This is really a great way to do an assembly on Thingiverse. Virtual gold star for all involved.
Plates for a 3dprinter of thingiverse.com/thing:2415 . They are done in openscad and require the original files from the Mini servo gripper.
There are currently two plates: one for geared parts, another for the rest of the parts. This is so you can print the gears at better quality and to avoid possible ooze making them not fit properly.
The original versions are just a plate directly made from the original files. There is also gripper_plate_v2 which contains tweaks for 3d printing. Namely it merges both 4mm tall arms into a single 8mm tall one and the base is modified to fit an HXT900 servo and merges both servo plates. This decreases the parts needed and helps
simplify assembly.
