I bought a 3D printer last week and fired it up for the first time over the weekend! It’s time to retire the popsicle sticks in my robot arm and go with something a little more “custom engineered” (and by yours truly). The main driver for the 3D printer was to build stronger and more precision struts for the arm. Also, from the amazing communities on YouTube, Facebook, and Reddit I purchased an Arduino Mega, more stepper motors, and some higher power driver boards to test against my RPi. I also shot some video last week and will be editing that for a couple more posts this week. There is a LOT of very exciting stuff being worked on so stay tuned and stay safe!!
