i was thinking of a bag with all white parts in like the brackets and end parts, head body feets.so that you can paint your own robot,in color that you want.

Hey @Nomad, Very cool. One of my's JD is slowly morphing into a mix of purchased and 3D printed Parts so this a great way to bring them all back to look the same.
JD is a great robot and I like the idea of giving him a makeover. Adding pieces like the JD backback that @JustinRatliff design that you printed to hide some of the wires is great. https://synthiam.com/Community/Questions/9352&page=6 and also having servo covers that hide the wires all painted the same color would also be good. (Did anyone ever create any servo/wire covers)?
Not that i know of
Your paint ideas for JD look great. You can make servo wire spiral wraps from drinking straws of any color. Use a kids handheld pencil sharperner. Just crank the straw through and that's it.
Hi rb550f
i understand what you are saying.i saw that on tv. good tip thanks.
@rb550f I was thinking more of covers that hide the servos and wires etc and improve the overall aesthetics of the robot. A bit like NAO or even XLR-One or the Altair. Although not to replace the robot just add covers to the robots servos and wires. This probably involves removing the existing PVC plastic components on the servos and replacing them with 3D printed components that are round smooth and customized for each servo depending on the location on JD.
Today the focus on EZ-Robot is more about functionality and component interchangeability (and JD does this very well) versus a standalone polished clean finished single use robot. Probably not viable from a commercial standpoint but for geeks 3D printing their own covers would fantastic.
Could we make JD look more like this with the addition of 3D printed covers ?
Hey @Nomad, those pieces look great. Something i learned while painting darth vader, is about the paint drying. To really know when paint is actually dry is by smelling it. If the paint has a scent, its not dry. it'll not smell when it's dry
Haha great dj.you can feel it to.the parts are cold.
here is the dome six in duo color.keep the white as it is and paint the dome and, under side.
