I've been gone on vacation the last few days. Now that I'm back I'm updating some of the 3D printed parts. It's little things - a washer that doesn't sit centered over an X shaped piece of wood now has an X-shaped groove to hold it in place; clearances have been tweaked; and so on.

On the laser cutting side I've made a mount for the magnet that will control the shoulder/anchor rotation. Some time tomorrow I'll cut a new anchor and shoulder. Assuming the magnet clearances are improved and the laser cutting goes well then all five sensors should be reporting in and giving good, valid data.

I plan to mount all the circuits on the back of the shoulder so that only a power cable had to go through the shoulder to the base. This way the power supply can be hidden beneath the base. Should be ~310 degrees rotation at the shoulder, comparable to a KUKA or ABB arm.

Back of a napkin calculation has the MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price) coming in $100 under target - before we start hunting for price deals. Already starting to think about a KickStarter video. It's coming along really well. Very pleased. Lovely jubbly.
