Blog update 8

This one includes an update on printing the pistons for the claw arm. Basically I had assumed someone had actually done their homework….

But that would just be TOO easy!!

Like I had said, the Clippard sites historic info seemed to duplicate some of the dimensions info for physically different size items. These were taken from the ‘parts of Star Wars’ picture. But on printing, I wasn’t happy with the scaling.

So using the claw I actually had, I used it to scale, off the picture from the original arm (B&W right side), to the size the components should be. I had previously scaled off the colour image with the website dimensions. Granted, there wasn’t much difference, but still, i was happier knowing it was more accurate.

When I get two minutes, I’ll find the ACTUAL part numbers for future reference.
But I’ll be creating stl files for 3D printing anyway, but having the correct numbers for backup.
