New Single Ball Plates
After a successful print from the Robo R2 printer. I realized that it would be ideal to make plates to lock off one thread to make knee and ankle joints.
These are taken straight out from the printer bed and look good. A little bit of clean up but they have printer out accurately. It took about 1 hour to print and weighs next to nothing.
Despite a bit of flex, these grip really well and provides good fluid movements on the joint. It won’t become apparent on how well they maintain their tension and grip until I run some animation tests with the armature.
