Longer servo connector #6

Closed trzy closed 6 months ago

trzy commented 6 months ago

Hi Alexander, thank you for open sourcing this. I printed out the components and noticed that there is a longer connector piece that would replace the component labeled "servo connector angle v1:1". I printed it too dense, so I won't use it, but I am going to print a lighter version of it. I see an even longer version in the photograph in the README.md. Is there any major disadvantage to using these longer versions? I assume you shortened it for stability purposes?

Some explanation of the discrepancy on the README would be very helpful for novices like myself.

Thank you!

It would not replace the "servo connector angle". You could use both to get a 5dof arm. The length of it does not really matter. A longer piece gives you a larger reach but is more difficult to control. I think the version in this repo has a good size.

I see now looking more closely at the videos. This makes sense! Thank you. I've gotten the 4dof version built and working!
