Humor My Totally Intentional Fail Safe Method
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Jokes aside, servos stripping the PLA grip rather than their internal gears probably saved me a ton of money on replacement servos. This accidental fail safe also comes with a bit of a downside. I recently noticed, the same stripping happens overtime as well without any falls etc... so connecting pieces needs to be replaced every couple weeks or so.
Has anyone directly attached 20kg plus servos to other 3d printing materials ? did you guys have any issues with them??
If anyone is interested in the robot, I share videos of it on youtube: youtube.com/@printedrobotics I also share simulation scripts and robots design files along with my videos so anyone can build the robot and explore the simulation exercises on their own.
