Back [07:33:06]<The_Jester> greets
[07:33:13]<Jak_o_Shadows> yo
[07:37:52]<The_Jester>http://imgur.com/XsK6fn3 [07:37:57]<The_Jester> Thoughts?
[07:38:40]<robopal> what software did you use for 3d modeling?
[07:38:54]<The_Jester> Sloid works 2012
[07:38:58]<robopal> ok
[07:39:30]<robopal> the leg in the middle is pulled inwards?
[07:40:00]<The_Jester> Its handy cause i can makle large assemblies with multipile compontents and each component can be exported to a printable stl
[07:41:02]<The_Jester> Yeah there is a single servo in the middle of the bottom that pulls left/right but im having geometry problems
[07:41:57]<robopal> you use it only when you want to make a turn?
[07:42:41]<The_Jester> No, it lifts each side alternativly so it can move the legs forward
[07:43:00]<robopal> oh I see, ok
[07:44:09]<The_Jester> Id like to use a pro mini but Its going to need a carrier board so the uno will have to do for proto typing
[07:46:04]<robopal> about that geometry problem, is it because of the straight link on the middle leg?
[07:46:26]<robopal> how we call them, link, beam?
[07:47:49]<The_Jester> its a problem on the model anyway so im going to order a handfull of threaded ball link ends like are used on RC helicopters ect and that additional flexabilty should resolve the issue
[07:48:16]<robopal> okey
[07:49:26]<The_Jester> Im trying to develop this as a kit
[07:50:44]<Jak_o_Shadows> threaded ball end links are expensive
[07:50:46]<Jak_o_Shadows> annoyingly
[07:53:47]<The_Jester> best ive seen is about 1.10 usd each on aliexpress in quanities of 10
[07:54:17]<The_Jester> blew my mind at first i was exprecting to pay that and get like 50..lol
[08:01:45]<Jak_o_Shadows> I once used some 3D printed bits, and some plastic beads, similar in shape to http://www.aliexpress.com/item-img/Original-beads-Fit-pandora-Charms-Bracelet-925-Sterling-Silver-Bead-Hollow-Leaf-Pattern-European-Charm-DIY/32592303950.html (but smooth) to make some
[08:01:49]<Jak_o_Shadows> It was a partial success

[23:04:34]<pokmo> i'm trying to build my own camera gimbal using a hollow shaft motor like this http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/2pcs-Ipower-brushless-motor-2804-100T-hollow-shaft-free-shipping/1755685_32355221325.html [23:04:44]<pokmo> does anyone know if a shaft is meant to be pressed into the hole?
[23:04:48]<pokmo> the mounting screws are just M2.5, a bit too small for mounting the camera platform, right
[23:22:51]<Snert> manufacturer's website may have a pic with enough detail to see the center hole better.
[23:23:14]<Snert> not the ALi website.
