@bob... that's funny... you use a relatively low power servo for your inMoov's wrist and I was using a much stronger MG946 and mine ends up burning out... LOL... To be honest, I think some plastic debris from the forearm dropped into the wrist gears and possibly jammed it which caused the servo to burn out....
bhouston,
Out of curiosity, when you printed your large forearm parts, did you use raft. As I trimmed mine I didn't do such a good job. The join line is very visible. I feel like if I hadn't used raft I would have had a much cleaner looking connection. Any tips on making the join lines less visible? Acetone?
@hecksumff... My rafts tend to come off pretty easy... @Bob used PLA for his inMoov so he would not of used acetone... However, that is what I used and it works very well... You can also use the yellow abs plumbing cement (it has acetone in it). Is thicker so easier to work with. However, being yellow means it will show if you get it on more than just the joints... Most of the time I used just plain acetone, though....
Richard R,
Good to know. My Rafts come off the heat plate easy but are pretty much one with the part. I use and exacto to get them off but it didn't make for a clean line. I notice on yours you can't see where forearm parts join at all. I guess I'll try acetone and then sand.
Probably the photo doesn't show it well... Do the best you can as my joints (especially on the right arm) are not perfect either... I think I read somewhere on the inMoov forum that people were having fitment problems with the forearm pieces... I believe it because I had to do quite a bit of sanding to even get any kind of a fit...
I am not familiar with the software you are using for your DaVinci... However there has to be raft settings you can tweak to help facilitate raft/part separation... Is there a user group or forum for the users your 3d software? Maybe they can help with raft settings?...
I try not to use rafts as they are hard to get off. I use these Helper Disks instead and place them where I need them.
Hmm, can't seem to attach the files for them. @Checksumff what's your email, I'll send them to you that way
I hear ya, The 311's are the cheapest I can buy locally.

There is and I'll check. I'm afraid Arius has set a very high bar. Different colors and it looks perfect.
