I'M Going To Build An Inmoov, Any Advice?

Hello, Synthiam community!

I'm going to need your help. I would like to build an inMoov for the first time. I want to take full advantage of the new Quest VR skill that can control the individual fingers of a robot.

I do have experience with building the head and shoulder servos, and a bit of experience operating it. Oh yes, and I have helped build a base for the upper body. Otherwise, I am a clean slate.

I'll be using all the EZ-Robot parts that I can. I will power it from a 5V 20A power supply as I've done in the past (with the super cap mod). I may design an external power board. I like the idea of including pins and switches.

I will be using EZ-Robot prototype high-torque servos any place a HS805BB servo is needed. I might replace some with EZ-Robot HDD servos if they can handle the job, as they are pretty torquey themselves (maybe the neck).

1. I have a head printed already, should I continue going from the head down to the stomach?

2. Should I print the legs or is it a waste of time at this point since they aren't functional yet.

3. Am I ok using PLA, or should I really get into the PETG game? Or PLA+?

4. I read that 30% infill should be used, is this right or should I go thicker/thinner in some places?

5. Should I use 2 shells when printing or is 3 or 4 better?

6. What are good methods for propping up the inMoov during the process.

7. What type of lubricant is best for the worm gears? White lithium grease?

8. What are some of the biggest challenges I'll face? Are the hands quite difficult?

9. Do you recommend a particular Youtuber or inMoov build page?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give!

@smiller29 I can give it a shot but I would encourage you to try to edit it at the same time. It should be as simple as switching to "Edit mode" selecting the vertices that are assigned to the bolt hole pattern and deleting those vertices. Email on the way.

Nomad 6R I can email it to you and yes it just one hole that goes all the way through. Drop me an email to [email protected] and I will send it to you.

Your butt file looks pretty tesselated in the first place given the way it was originally exported to stl. Can you post the file? It is a simple edit for Solidworks.

Nomad,  That will work I tried last night night in TinkerCad but did not get it this nice so I thank you.  Can I ask how you are able to link files in your post?

To Perry and Jeremie,  Do you think you may be able to get a better result?  If so I will wait for your attempt before I hit the print button...  This part take over a spool of filament and 3+ days to print.  So I only want to attempt this one more time LOL.
