  • inMoov torso on a stick

    All the parts of the InMoov torso are ready and I have put it together.
    Yes!!!! The torso is the main body part of the InMoov because the head and the arms are attached to it.

    To make the torso stand up I used the two part stand holder from http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:44452. I want to mount the Kinect and this part make this possible and is robust enough. Those two parts are glued together. The metal pipe is 22 mm and is 1 meter long.

    The hole in stand holder part is slightly smaller so I used a 22 mm drill to make it bigger.

    At the bottom I used two pieces of wood I had lying around and used some screws and glue to mount it together.

    This construction will not be stable enough when moving the arms. For now it’s enough because a lot of printing is required to finish the arms.

    While printing the arms I can complete the head and mount the Kinect. Some extra pictures of the torso.

  • Progress inMoov torso

    Slowly but surely the InMoov torso is taking shape. There are a lot of parts to print. I damaged my Ultimaker printer by pulling to hard at the filament. I had to wait for spare parts, but I am printing again. In the pictures you can see the torso with only three parts missing at the back side.

    I will be happy if this is done, so I can mount the torso on a stick and the head on top of it. The part fit together very well without a lot of modifying afterwards. Please take a look at the original designer of the inMoov robot. www.inmoov.fr
