Will be a fun project that's for sure.

Is the Meca your main focus right now, or do you have a few robots on the go?

hi omegaproject

the mecca needs now 3d printing parts.i dont have one. servo's are all HDD .maybe a real head too.

Nice, with the flat plastic parts and curved plastic parts, you could cut out steel or aluminum parts from sheets and make it from scratch, may need a metal bender tho or good heat resistant gloves and a blow torch to heat up the metal before bending. I thought of doing that as soon as i seen how easy it would be to assemble one, i though of a metal conversion

That's a way better idea that reverse engineering the meccano protocol . They made things far too complicated! Good job
