Build your own Mini Robot Arm

 

 

Have you ever thought about building a robot arm? Yes, me too. :-)

Now I am the owner the of a 3D printer, so I decided to implement this whish.

You realize this project with really low costs.

I modified the foot of the robot arm slitely to fit on the print bed of the M3D.
