Part 1 still to be printed [later this week].
Part’s A and B are already printed.
I made a start on cleaning up the edges etc. and trying to remember in what order they should go together lol.
I defo need to add some way of identification to the parts.
I’ve not been able to print off any more, due to the printer being in use.
But I do have enough to be getting on with before Saturdays builders Christmas meet.
Tuesday 13th
The CLAW arrived today...
When I get a chance I'll CAD this up for 3D printability.
I've ordered two new servos, one for the head and a smaller one for the Claw arm.
The Claw arm info I found on Parts of Star Wars’ facebook page:
A search up online and although these parts are no longer available, the website does have these parts listed but more importantly, they have full technical details and dimensions.
Links:
Clippard
9CD-3T (dimensions are the same as 3CD-2T, which I believe is wrong)
11752-2 (not the old version, but close enough)
website: www.clippard.com
Thursday 15th
I drew up the two piston arms to the tech details off the above links, but I wasn't happy with the 9CD-3T's length, as it states its the same length as the 3CD-2T. Looking at the above image, I decided that I would increase the 3T to just over 5" long. This also then matches up with the 'stroke' length info.
SM-6, the part that connects with the 'Claw', I also increased in size as the dimensions were to small to it and didn't match up with the original image scale.
I then drew up brackets that will attach to the new SM-6 and 9CD-3T/3CD-2T.
I’ll post up more pictures after the builders meet tomorrow.
Don’t forget to check out the Droid Builders UK YouTube channel and Facebook page for possible live streaming of the day.
