A printable robot arm, a little bigger than the usual hobby servo once.

My printable robot arm is inspired by the well known industry robots, but printable.

The goal is to develop a open source robot arm to use in private or small businesses and make robot development available for every one.
The arm should lift about 2 kg enough to perform every day tasks. Currently robot arms are expensive or small and weak, or clumpy.
Industrial robots are expensive and dangerous and for that not suitable for using at home or schools.
A Open Source printable robot can build,used and developed by every one.
Robots are still expensive and hard to operate, but this must not longer be the case.
A cheap 3d printed robot arm could be used by disabled persons to manage their daily needs better and more independent. Operate at dangerous but not so developed places.
Remote controlled you could even us the robot to open your door if you forgot your keys.

The future Arm will include a moving base.

I also started uploading the files on github
