I have decided to jump into 3D printing and build a version of the Inmoov robot, here is the printer that I am going to buy, it looks a good spec.

I (personally) have no CAD knowledge, but I would like to convert the arms to the Bosch drives. They would be much more powerful (torque) than the existing servos, being virtually totally silent (I noticed the servo noise in @Aerius video that there was quite a loud holding buzz). The Bosch units already have a worm driven gearbox built in and also a feedback potentiometer. I think the Bosch units would greatly improve the Inmoov arms if a conversion can be done to allow for these these to be used with the current design.
As you have some Bosch drives, David and Richard R what do you guys think?

You could also just tie into the bracket that holds the gear which is inside of the inmoov. A 62mm OD pole would be able to be drilled to match up with this bracket.
Inmoov in motion? I vote for . As long as he does quietly and is easily controlled.
@ToyMaker... Tony the finished inMoov without battery is around ~20lbs... How much weight can your base handle? If it can handle the inMoov, plus maybe a battery is there any chance you would be willing to sell one to me? No worries if you can't... I am looking for a new base for my inMoov and yours seems to be perfect....
Cheers Richard
@Toymaker,
Will you sell low quantitys (4) of the Bosch motors and drive PC boards? If so, what would the cost be?
Thank you.
@Tony,
I'm very interested in these motors for make shift high powered servos. Could you point me to a supplier for these and or specs/ dimensions? I'm interested in speed and torque vs size.
Thanks so much in advance.
@fxrtst, From previous conversations, it appears there are no US distributors for these motors and Bosch has no interest in selling them to this market. Tony has been nice enough to send samples to many users here, but I don't know if he can be a distributor if Bosch doesn't authorize it.
Tony, please correct me if I mis-stated this. going from memory....

Well poo, missing a market here in the states...okay then
@Tony.
There seems to be a lot of interest of these Bosch motors you mention, and I see that you recomend them. What is the model number for these motors as I'm possibly interested in getting a few of these myself for an upcoming robot project I want to start, and wanted to look them up (specs, price, where to buy ect).
Thanks.
Steve.
