I first got interested in this project when looking for ways to construct a robotic assembly cell. Most robotic arms I found were either prohibitively expensive >1000$ for a basic robotic arm, or were simple and inaccurate, IE cheapo bearings, and subpar servos. Having recently won an eBay auction for 60 Nema 17 motors, I decided it was time to put some of the motors to use. I previously was a member of my university's robotics team, and while helping them I was able to see what type of parts could be produced using 3D printing and was surprised that many of the transmissions, and frame components used 3D printed. I decided to use the skills i gained to build an inexpensive robotic arm which would hopefully serve the purpose of a pick and place machine, and robotic manipulator.
