Hi  I have been printing the files that were generously supplied by Mickey666mauss for his creation of Zoe.  I was interested in the original Zoe head as it just appealed to me as I wanted to have a socially interactive robot and I feel that robot would not be viewed as to human looking and get a negative reaction.  like my inmoov and buddy my human looking robot head seem to get on occasion.  I wanted to have my Zoe have a mouth so emotion could be verbal.  so I have added a  mouth on zoe which I think looks very good and also works very well.  Other changes I have made to Mickey's design, I have a lot of regular servos mostly metal gear, I decided to make my version of zoe with standard servos and using a EZ-robot V4 Controller as this is what I am more comfortable with.  of course I had to alter the parts of zoe to fit standard servos, which was not an easy task as I feel I am not that good with Cad design.  but I managed to make due.     This version of Zoe will be mobile mounted on a mobile base and I have lots of design to complete to make that happen.  My version of Zoe is not complete but most of the parts have been printed.  I have had a belt self destruct on my delta printer and I am waiting for a replacement and during this pandemic it will take a while.  the arms are almost complete but I will add pictures of that and Zoe moving later.  the pictures I have downloaded show Zoe and Zoe with eyes illuminated.  the camera is also installed the lights are bright so Zoe can see better in the dark.

Nice!! Is that a general feature if the Inmoov or did you make it up? How much reduction does this gearbox give you and how is the backlash?:)

My other Hobby is Guitars and I have finished building this arch top hollow electric acoustic guitar, and Bruce-e wanted to hold the new guitar so I took a picture, he said he wants to learn how to shred the guitar.  that is a playing technique.  I said no.   and Cog is to small to hold it.

@Nomad6R @EzAng   Yes I can Play Guitar. mostly acoustic but I had a desire to play Jazz so I built this guitar.  you can play electric or acoustic. it is great fun.  I am a luthier and have built from scratch hurdy gurdies, nyckelharpa, fiddles, monkey organs, uilleann Irish bagpipes , recorders and ukulele, the largest is harpsichords here is a picture of my new guitar in front of one of my harpsichords. the oil painting is by me and I also do oil paintings.  too old and very little time.

You have many great talents, which one is your real job?

So when will a video be displayed of one of your robots?

@EzAng Thanks for the nice Comment,  Just between you and me I don't think many members of Synthiam  appreciate when you make videos, not many even comment on your videos and they don't realize the time and effort it takes to make videos.  I use my time for building and  designing.  and I like helping members with fresh ideas.  if you check youtube there are a few videos I made of my inmoov robot.   Cog is my latest robot and not many members found interest in Cog.  as it is not in my nature to impress people, I build for myself.  That is why it is so quiet at synthiam.  no body like to comment on anything.  maybe they will just leave a thumbs up.  I can't recall you leaving a comment on Cog.   see what I mean.
