Re: Printing out robot parts
We are lucky enough to have our own uprint. This past year we took advantage of it. Maily because we wanted to take a chance on manufacturing parts as we slept. Here is a list of parts we used:
Wheels 6wd
Bearing blocks supporting the wheels
Drum for our cable lift
Bearing glides for lift mechanism
Main body for our manipulator
Couple other parts I am forgetting about.
Design, intent and part orientation are key. Not all parts should be printed but I believe that we proved we could use printed parts as vital parts.
In the end we saved machine time, weight, we all know how valuable each of these items are.
