It's just a concept right now but I wanted others to see that the scale doesnt quite match. Right now its just stacked on there and neck is a little too long.

Whichever one I posted before it is wrong type. Its not flexible enough. I just got it today. Bret has the part number of what will work.
they have so many many types of a/c duct hoses and for vacuum too
Nice Glickclik...Good to see you made progress on this project, can't wait to see him with arms and all
@ robotmaker, the one I ordered said it was flexible and the drawing looked right but it wasnt. I think Bret has the right one. @Louis, Thanks man. I ran out of Krylon fusion spraypaint I had sent to me. :/ so the very bottom, the other arm and head didn't get paint. I cant get it easily here. I will be in US in 2 weeks so I will get it then. I cant wait either. Im still waiting on parts. The hitec servos need a different shaft than the ones I had for the shoulder.
The stuff I have I got from work as scraps so I don't have a part number or anything.
Really? What luck that its the right size!
Can we see pics of the tubing Brett? Also I would only need like ft. Thanks man!
Quick update. The neck tilt doesnt work so well due to the slop in the gear and motor arrangement. When I tried it out it overshoots a little and the motor reverses a little and overshoots a little the other way. The effect is an oscillation back and forth. Think bobble head. Lol. Its possible that slowing the tilt down may lessen that but Im inclined to think a pushrod and servo solution may be the permanant fix. For now, it stays as is until the rest is moving.
