Description

dARM (dynamic Arm for Robotic Mischief)

dARM is a 3d printed 6 DOF robotic arm. Initially, I wanted to build a 3d printed arm as a test of my new Bambu X1C. I found most existing projects used stepper motors. I wanted a better power density.

So the dARM journey began. The goal was to design a cheap, powerful, robust, modular, and easily maintained arm from scratch using ODrive S1 BLDC controllers. It stands .975 meters tall and can easily hold 5 lbs in the horizontal position.

After iterating through various designs, modularity and maintenance became top priorities. If any individual component fails, its modular section can be removed from the larger arm for easy replacement.

Full instructions can be found at the git here: https://github.com/JesseDarr/dARM

In a world where industrial employers want experience but offer no training, this is a gamechanger for the self taught tech, or the hobbyist. Well done, can't wait to build mine!

Hey,have u finished this model?

@Designer3859

Replying to @Senn_Kael :

I'm currently working on getting in setup in ROS2 containers. 1 for simulation and 1 the physical robot. But for the physical design, yes this is the final iteration.

I dabbled with ROS2, but ultimately settled on self-designed software. Check out my version—you'll find the project in my profile. Your work is fantastic! Well done

this is so wild!! it's intense projects like this that kind of make me want to take a step back from my expensive RC hobby for a bit. I wish I could afford all the things..haha. hats off man, this is supremely impressive stuff..🫡🔥

@GWDesigns

This is very impressive! I would print it but I am currently broke after spending all my money on filament;)

@user_1773148204

What are all the parts?

I don’t see it in there ……..

Look for BOM.xlsx at root of the repo.

You get a boost just for designing this. I may not print this (just because i can afford the electronics), but this is probably the coolest model ive seen on makerworld so far. could you also attach a link or pdf for a bill of materials?

i just realised the BOM is on the git link

also i cant afford the electronics, not can

@Designer3859

Check the github link in the description. It has a BOM, full build instructions, control code and a lot more.

this is insane

@user_3016101316

Is there a list of all the parts you need to buy? I couldn't find it on the github page.

The designer has replied

@Designer3859

Yes this is a bill of materials at the root of the repo called BOM.xlsx.

Thank you!

@cBC3dDIY

Hi! You've done an excellent job! if I had not my own robot arm allready, I would be interested in your's! Working on my bot allready for years, just recently got a 3d printer. Gonna redo my wrist-joint, using 3d printed parts ( have design and print it ) https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcCKmeWXkrzQ_kWBD6VObuYYiVe-x1Ymo&;si=lHS09GzEnALVeIu9 I'll keep an eye on your bot, it's amazing! Kind regard. Marcel
