Wheeler Chair Robot
I saw that last year somebody had built a wheel chair robot?. My idea for the new Robot will be as a stage mascot that can also pretend to play the drums on stage. My brother has a live Metal band every Saturday night and most of the time we have trouble with no drummer showing up. We end up using a Drum machine instead with the 2 other guys on real guitars and singing. So Terminator will be able to move around and substitute behind the drum kit with the Live drum machine signal activating terminator arms at the drums. Also need him to move around in a wheel chair , so is anyone out there that has done this wheel chair hack, looking for suggestions on power/motor controller connections etc...should not be too hard just larger than I'm used to building. This is a youtuber that bought what I just bought,takes a month to get from China and we are building the rest of the Endoskeleton to integrate in wheel chair....

I cut things up with a dremel and saw before I had a 3d printer. Lots of hand sanding and carpel tunnel inducing work.
I am going to try a new filament it is carbon graphite filled nylon, it very strong but easier to print then regular nylon. which can warp and shrink. I made planetary gears for my inmoov's elbow, using regular nylon and it was difficult, but I think you have to build strong if you are making a robot. my first inmoov had pla filament, Inmoov1 had a fall and I was 2 months replacing broken parts. Inmoov2 uses nylon and PET-G very tough, 3D printing is a very slow process some parts can take days to print, so you have to be very patient.
Yeah man...get a printer, they are super cheap these days!! Does not mean, that you'd have to abandon being a scavenger... But it will be much easier to make all these intricate parts that would be impossible to make without one!!
If you want to make part that is super durable, then 3d print it, clean it up, sand it , prime it and use amazing remelt or recast to make a temp mold to cast parts in durable polyurethane or other resin.
Man, I cannot wait for you to show us how you do this!!
It will be coming either late december or january I think.
Sounds great for people like me that have no experience 3d printing! Seems so sci-fi creating objects by computer. Speaking of which,had to take another break from that Terminator Resistance game,so addictive! They have made this game so real to the Terminator universe, The T-800 skeletons are so highly advanced artificial intelligence, you need to come up with other strategy to kill them. If you try to take one down at close range,forget it,will end badly for you most of the time. Usually with the thing grabbing your neck and slamming you to the ground! This is actually way better than the recent movie, Will be coming out on game consoles for December and I predict this will be a huge seller. For PC you can get it now on steam.The only way to kill T-800's you need to get the red or purple plasma rifle and hit them like 20 times from far away,or several pipe bombs,LOL!
there are lots of 3d parts for cylons, so you do not have to design the parts yourself. just download maybe cut and print.
a cylon backpack as an example.
