michaelkubina / SpotMicroESP32

My take on a SpotMicro with an optimized design for supportfree 3D-printing. It utilizes an ESP32-DevKitC for the low-level control of the electronics. The heavy computation will be made by external devices, which in return have the power to command the robot.

Larger holes/ deeper channels for sheathed servo wires in upper leg #8

Open Annihil8ted opened 3 years ago

Annihil8ted commented 3 years ago

I sheathed my servo cables using a braided nylon sheath however I was unable to snake them through the servo cable hole in the upper leg. I ended up having to use a router to enlarge the hole and snake them through. The next issue then became the channel, particularly the area right there the servo sides, is super tight and causes some binding.

Thank you for mentioning this, i will certainly adress this! Also I am actually already aware of this issue and have it on my todo list in the projects section of the 3d-printed-parts. I have encountered it too, while assembling my spotmicro using fabric-hoses around the servocables and did not think about it in the design process. I will keep this issue open as a reminder, but right now my priority is to make a documentation on the wiring/circuitry, because i think this is more urgent due to the lack of it.
