Here's a quick look at the base I've built for my InMoov robot.

Very Good! Lots more room for batteries and other essentials like a cold beer!
bhouston How about some info on the innards of your base. Really nice build by the way.
stunning love the colors
@ Robot Doc, I used 2 small 12 volt, 19 RPM motors, here's the link to them http://www.ebay.com/itm/291057616929?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT, They are controlled with a 2X12 Sabertooth motor controller, you can get them from the Robotshop and Solarbotics. I am controlling the Sabertooth with an EZBv4. The third wheel is just a boogie castor, the batteries in the base provide good ballast. I need to, once again, say thanks to Richard R for all his help getting the components and getting them all hooked up and working properly.
I already got to see Bob's base a while back... Now I am glad I didn't show mine in my inMoov video. Bob did a way better design job with his base... Looks Awesome Bob!
:)
Very Nice Design!
This thread needs this.... "I'm all about that base, bout that base, bout that base....no wobble"
@bhouston
Looks GREAT, very impressive! And has inspired me again, to start looking again for a 3D printer to start building a Inmoov.
Do you have more video of it moving long.
@ALL
Without causing a 'snow storm' of abuse, like the Cube posting!
Does anyone have experience of the FlashForge Dreamer printer? I know they had a lot of issues with over heating and the carriage warping, and requiring replacement. Which FlashForge did a Modification which included installed a thermal couple sensor and cooling fans for the chamber temperature. Apart from that, the reviews seems to be an excellent printer for the money, for a newbie.
Cheers, Chris..
