Hi Will, I was really impressed with Episode 1. The excitement of the build comes through. Seeing it from conception forward is fun. I look forward to a "cold one".

I absolutely loved it. High powered, high energy, it moved quickly but I had no trouble understanding and keeping up. It's amazing you packed all that into little more the 6 minutes .

I really liked your design to rotate the torso. It would be great to know what motor you used and what parts you used to mount it to make the upper torso rotate. I fell in love when I saw the aluminum you custom cut that is underneath to support the robot's structure and parts soon to be attached.

Thanks for a great evening. Well done.

Omg, that was awesome to watch. Great job. I so got to get  a newer 3 D printer now

@ robohappy I am so convinced I could print anything at any size with this printer. I have a whole system I came up with (that go into depth in next episode) for dealing with PETG, fixing warping, pinning together parts and making all the parts seamless and fit perfectly together. You, don't want to miss that episode.

@dave there is a title that comes up that tells the motor that I used for the torso rotation. I have it running at 12 volts, but i went ahead and got a 24 volt power supply to up the power if this bogs under the weight as i continue adding parts/more weight.

I have some growing pains in the filming editing department run by...umm me. LOL. I lost a bit of video on building the arm which rotates the upper torso. So that left me with two shots of the arm..drilling it and placing it. I just mounted it the two screws that attach to the rockler bearing on the inside of the waist plate. The hub simply slides over the motor shaft and i tighten the grub screw. Thats all there is to it.

I found some great local guys to cut all my aluminum...great cheap and fast!

BTW all those metal parts were designed in Zbrush which is nuts because that program it more for organic shapes...but I dont like CAD programs, so all of it is done in zbrush.

Will - my post on linkedin for your first episode is trending in #robotics for ya. Congrats! Hope it brings more viewership and subscribers

Aww thats awsome! Everything helps. I'm struggling with all the social media....twitter instagram etc. I need my 14 year old Niece to take over for me! Youtube requires 4000 watched hours in 12 months and 1000 subscribers before you can monetize. I only have 600 watched hours, but I am approaching the subs fairly quickly. Hopefully the more episodes I get up the faster I can rack up those hours. Now back to more editing...it never stops.
