Robotic arm
A 3D-printed arm with stepper motors and a custom remote control. The build developed through testing and redesign.
Changing the design
I chose an existing design I found online, then 3D printed and assembled it. This gave me a different starting point to test and develop.
Finding the right motors
The servomotors I initially used did not have enough power to move the structure effectively. I replaced them with stepper motors to get more suitable movement and control.
Building the controls
I wrote a program to operate the motors and made a custom remote control for the arm. The work brought together 3D modelling, mechanical assembly, electronics, and programming.
