Patrick, in the US, almost every city has a Maker-Space with 3D printers and other tools that you can use for a reasonable membership fee and thr price of materials. Also many public libraries have 3D printers that will print for a small fee plus the cost of materials. You may want to research if there is anything similar in your area.

here they are chops too .but they ask to much money for a small part. more then 150 euro is way to much.and most friends i know,cant make an stl file. and you dont get the stl eather,its companie property.

I'll whip something up for you :)

dj

thats very nice of you.do you have any question for me?

no - i understand what you're looking to do.

thank you

got my new camera yesterday jd head.works really well. and i saw new ARC new rgb motion,awesome.

I have a few more finishing touches to do - and the bracket, which will have a female clip so the block isn't necessary.

• i added heat vents since these servos will hold a bit of weight
• i have yet to add the nub on the rear side for the bracket
• it will obviously look better in white, but for test prints i use the ugly stuff

thats a cool design.i did earlier with my bioloids the same ventilation. with testing them servo's they never get to hot and die,i tested them for 4 houres, long without moving the horn,thats the highest heat you can make. pinokio is a fully jd now,he's waiting for his hips. thank you for doing this.

Nice job !

I'll work on the project tonight and publish the files with the project...

Thanks! you have another watcher waiting!

What kind of printer you use, and software ?

that is really awesome.are you doing the side steps too?

thank you

It appears that that improvement gives him a more natural walk. Love it. :)

i see you didn use cubes ? but made cross bracket.

The files are here: https://synthiam.com/Community/Revolution/EZBitDetails.aspx?guid=6c44caf3-98fb-4a3b-8074-9bde69585eec

Here's the installation video:

@ptp, I have MakerBot Replicator 2's

woohoo awesome great thank you .

i have to mention when you cut the male off and i wanted to put a bolt&nut on the bracket.so i draw a cross to find the middle off the male,and i dril, a tiny hole in there for the bolt&nut,what i didn saw was the little wall, under in the middle male part.so my drill whent eacther left or right. so the hole was not in the middle,many thanks for the bracket with, female .my friend is allreddy printing.

Hi Patrick,

I look forward to seeing Pinokio dancing soon.

Be Well, Ron

hi andy

pinokio has become a fully jd robot now.the head was nice but not , practical.didn get the rgb and cam in there.but he wil dance soon, or sing opera.

Opera is good,,,,,, ..... LOL

i choosed the three tenors.pavarotti,jose careras ,domingo but i dont no how to uploaded when reddy for ,sabam will be a problem.

Ha - i'm having fun with JD's new hips

it looks really great.cant hardly wait to have mine hips.

i put the brackets a little off center,again a little more freedom.

Dj.....That is SOOO cool.....

Patrick ,, good Luck with yours ...

It looks like that could be used to help JD walk without so much of a shuffle. Lean to one side so one leg is bearing all of the weight, then lift the other leg high, lean forward until the front leg touches the ground, then lean to that side to it takes the weight as the leg straightens out.

It is too bad there isn't an easy way to do a servo controlled ball joint, which is what a hip really needs, but this could really help with JD's mobility.

Alan

i think dj gonna surprise us,new update ARC. :)

Next need is a two axis waist. and more powerful servos.

or the backpack for jd from anthony.

Watch the way you walk in a mirror Your waist twists you hips. The movement is complex but you can get more of a walk gait with a waist added. This walking will make you crazy... LOL

i notest to get a robot on one leg ,you start with the otherfoot lift outwarts, that puches the robot into the direction off the other leg you want him to stand on. ones you see he's going that way,take over with the foot also lift outwarts, you want him to stand on.

Thank you for the nice design... is there an action implented in roboscratch?

Tnx Eddy

@DigiEddy are you happy with your Flashforge Dreamer ? Do you use a different software ?

digieddy

nice work.

@ptp : I'm very happy with my flashforge dreamer. But i'm using simplify 3D for the best results. You are most welkom to come at my facebook page for the dreamer.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/FlashForgeDreamer/

@DigiEddy The hips require a specific project, not the standard JD project. For reference, this is mentioned in the instruction video, this thread, and the description of the 3d printable part for anyone else reading this.

*Note: at the time of this writing, the jd with hips project is not complete. It does not have optimized walking and movements to use the hips. We're slowly working on it, and feel free to contribute :)

You can get additional apps using either EZ-Cloud from ARC or the Robot AppStore on this website: https://synthiam.com/Community/EZCloud/RobotApps.aspx

dj

thanks for mention this.am gonna try the side steps ones i got my 3d parts.

howmany downloaded the stl from the hips ?

i got the hip part,but the size is not correct.you can pull the backside easly off. eather the bottom inside must lift 2 a 3 mm or the nots on the backside, 2 a3 mm longer so the bracket cant come off.

here are some video's.

here you see where the 2 mm is missing,it also prevent the bracket from, getting stuck on the head from the screw.
