I've taken a break during school, but I'm now back at it!
For the past few months I've been slowly print and purchasing parts for the Arm. I will be assembling the 3rd joint this week, which is the last of the larger joints.
As a side note, I noticed that the Moteus R4 now has support to control an external actuator. This is amazing! With this addition, It will be really easy to add attachments to the end of the arm. This also simplifies wiring for any gripper as now I will only need to Moteus wires: Ground, Power, and CANFD.
Finally, I've been looking into using PPA-CF as an alternative to the aluminum rights surrounding the circular spline. This would be much cheaper in exchange for a minor drop is performance. I'm still debating it, the only reason I'm hesitant is because I like the look of the aluminum ring and how it matches the large lazy susan bearing.
