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.

@ Richard R The whole idea of the InMoov project, this forum and others is about sharing ideas, builds and scripts. Sharing the information for this modification is in keeping with that philosophy. It would be great if you and others modify your robots to include this DOF.

@Bob.... I hear ya' Can I ask what software you use to design/alter stls? I have been using blender, but I really need to spend more time with it.... I want to learn how to augment and design my own stls....
I've heard good things about freecad: https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/index.php?title=Screenshots
Blender is a pain in the butt - feels a little clunky and i'm always making mistakes with it. We use Solid Works, but that's too expensive for a home user.
I've tried to use TinkerCAD a few times, but it's a little too dumbed down. It is useful for making real quick stuff - like lego adapters and servo holders: https://www.tinkercad.com/
@DJ Hey, don't knock dumbed down... LOL.... Thanks I'll check Freecad out.... I have to say, I made a coffee mug with blender, but it really isn't that intuitive to use.... I am sure if I spent six months with it I would do ok, but I have better things to do ... like build robots....
I am a beginner and using 123D Design.
I'll check it out @Gilles.... Thanks man...
