All your base...

First small update. IRB120 started, software operational, all systems ok. Generally, I'll stick to 1:10 for now, which is super tiny for small robots - we'll see when we'll be at large handlers. For now, due to extremely limited time (I have max one hour per day) I have to find time to make models, write posts, prepare images etc., so work will be progressing slowly. But that's also ok, if I do not stop - plan is to spend at least half an hour every day to work on blog.

What have I done - base of IRB120. Basically 1/7th of model. Currently at 5 part, only 2 requiring assembly, 3 have to be cut and glued into place. I have no idea how it will look all white, but I hope it will be ok.

Here you can see what I've done. On left .step model of robot base, on right Sketchup model of model. It might not look impressive, but in total it is 20x20x50 millimeters, so it's tiny, tiny. It took me about an hour or so, mostly to get measurements right, and I had to redo part of it due to stupid mistake when making groups in Sketchup. Basically, each part is separate group, which automatically clones touching faces between two parts, which will come in handy during assembly. I will try to finish axis 1 and 2 until Monday, but we'll see if I will find required time.


Best,

K.
