ARM1 assembly
12/14/2016 at 20:15 • 0 commentsWhat you need:
items quantity bearing 608zz 2 M3X6 1 M3X14 16 M3X20 8 M3X30 6 ~ 12 M3X78(or 80) 6~12 M3 nuts several ∅5mm steel ball several all the printed parts(including one ARM2 part) put two 608zz on the ARM1_wave_generator
add 12 nuts to the ARM1_slew_inner_b
and 3 nuts on back of inner_b
Put two parts together
A M3X6 bolts will do the job
put ARM1_bearing_holder on top of the bearing.
And install 2 M3X20 to fasten the bearing holder.
Like the BASE parts, slew bearing( there are two slew bearing in ARM1) need ∅5mm steel balls
add steel balls to the slew bearing, small gap is needed. (PS. don't forget apply some grease/lubricant.)
Put ARM1_slew_inner_a_with_gear_1mX60 in place, and 6 ~ 12 M3X14 bolts to fasten the parts.
put ARM1_input_gear_1mX15 to the NEMA 17 motor( high torque one is needed).
4 M3X14 to fix the motor.
Another slew bearing, as before.
6 M3X14 to fasten the ARM1_slew_bearing_inner_part1 and ARM1_slew_bearing_inner_part2, 6 M3X20 fasten ARM1_slew_bearing_inner_part1 , ARM1_slew_bearing_inner_part1 and ARM1_flex_08mX98_v2.
We also need ARM2_connector_to_arm1( belongs to ARM2 parts) for easy assembly ( because we must fasten this to add other parts).
Put those together. Don't forget nuts on ARM1_slew_bearing_outer ( If you don't have M3X80 bolts, you can apply M3X40 before you fix ARM2_connector_to_arm1) .
Put all the parts together, done.

BASE Assembly
12/10/2016 at 20:40 • 0 commentsPrinted parts:
other parts:parts quantity M3X30 6(at least) M3X8 4 M3X14 4 NEMA stepper 1 M3 nuts a few Insert a nut to BASE_motor_input_gear:
put the motor gear to the stepper.
The hole is too tight, so I'm using a vise to push the gear to the motor.
M3X3mm set screw to secure the gear.
4 M3X8 screws to mount the stepper.
apply 5mm ball to the slew bearing parts.
Don't put too many balls here. Little gap will be fine.
A little grease (lubricant) will be great.
Put those parts together.
put 2 of M3X30 screws in there but don't go too much, we need another part.
Put 12 nuts in the outer nut-holes.
Put those parts together.
fasten the screws, done.

First Upload(ARM2 print parts)
11/26/2016 at 18:30 • 0 commentsJust uploaded the print parts for ARM2. You can start print, those parts will need days to complete.
If you have any questions, leave me a comment.
