After a 8 hour print the next parts of the inMoov head are ready. I have printed the TopskullRightV2 parts. In one print you get three parts at once. The left side was already done. The parts of this print have a better finish then the other parts. It seems that the quality is better at a normal speed instead of a speed at 50%.

I try to get my kids involved into robotics. There is only one problem. I have two daughters. They are interested but the things I build are not attractive to see so they are bored very fast.
I have a Ultimaker 3D printer for a few months now (I will write about this someday) and they really like this thing. The girls only want to print dogs and the oldest one asked me to print a Aibo dog for her. Great idea but … maybe some other time.
Last week I found something on the Internet what’s simple and looks great. I showed it to my kids and they loved it. It’s Called BOB the Biped. This is an open source project build by K.Biagini. You can find it at http://www.instructables.com/id/BoBtheBiPed/
Below the parts I printed. Next on the todo list are the electronics.
I found training material on the Internet about self driving Cars at Udacity. It’s a high quality course with instructor Sebastian Thrun from Stanford University. He explains all the basic concepts of autonomous cars and uses examples in Python to make it more practical.
You can find this material at https://www.udacity.com/course/cs373 and it’s completely free for you to attend.
It’s amazing what some people publish on the Internet. For a while now Gael Langevin has published his designs for a life size humanoid robot. With a 3D printer and some skills you can build this great
project.
It happens that I have a 3D printer Ultimaker and some building skills so I started printing. You need a lot of filament and a lot of patience to complete this project, but it’s really great to do.
If you want to start to start this project visit Gael’s website at http://www.inmoov.fr/
Below the pictures of the progress of my inMoov Robot head. I am not sure if I finish the complete robot. It’s takes about 6 hours to print one part at normal speed and there are a lot of parts. We shall see.
See the pictures below to see the progress at this point in time.
