I've designed a new neck mechanism for InMoov to add a degree of freedom. It still needs some fine tuning but you'll get the idea.

It makes the head movement realistic and will allow to communicate a wider range of emotions.
Question, is it only me?
When I open the stl files in my FlashPrint or 123 Design software the part shows itself as about 1/25 of the real size.
Thanks

Could you open one of the Bob's stl file from thingiverse
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:845793
and check if the file opens at a normal size?
In my case it looks very small when i open it with my printer SW.

Correction
Forget about testing the file, I have just realize my SW was converting inches to millimeter. It is fix now.
sorry
Tanks again
@Dave, The servo holder will hold the HD servos from Ez Robot which is basically the MG995 or the HS 311 or any servo this size. There is one photo on thingiverse that shows the servo Pivot in place. The photo is taken from the back here is another one taken from the front. It's hard to photograph. Drill a couple of holes in the mount and attach to the frontside of HomePlateBack.
Thanks again!
Thanks Buddy
So far so good, I have the upper and lower neck joint done and they fit perfectly,
I'll make a short video when everything will be fit together.
Regarding Antony's modified Throat piston V2, its modification looks nice and is a good idea, except he should reference Gael Langevin as the original author.
for everbody who don´t want to make work to change the STL files from inch to millimenter.... here i did it for you.
All STL for the Neck Upgrade from Bob Houston in millimeter.
