I recently found a very usefull tool on Thingiverse that lets you check your Gcode file before sending it to the printer.
So I decided to give it a try...

Having fun with Meshmixer and Sculptris
By Anar on Wednesday 12 February 2014, 19:30 - Software
Yesterday I had some little spare time between two projects so I decided to train myself at using Meshmixer and Sculptris.
I had no precise idea of what to do before I reminded a famous René Magritte painting from 1934 that would be a perfect subject for Meshmixer.
Along with a bit of Sculptris, I thought it should be possible to achieve a good result in a short time.
In just as little as 3 hours of time I had a new sculpture ready to be printed...
Saga Eugène / InMoov : Right hand CAD data (WIP)
By Anar on Friday 7 February 2014, 22:25 - Hands
I know that quiet a few people are waiting for the hand to be released as CAD data.
I received several personal mails asking me when it will be made available.
The answer is "I don't know...".
But for sure it's on its way.

Nouvelle année et robot ancien
By Anar on Thursday 2 January 2014, 17:24 - InMoov
Bonne Année à tous !
Happy New Year to everyone !
Честита нова година на всички !
Nous avons passé la soirée de réveillon chez mon pote Looping qui, lors de fouilles archéologiques, a découvert ce qui pourrait bien être l'ancêtre de Eugène et de InMoov.
L'âge du robot n'a pas encore pu être déterminé, mais les analyses de ses restes sont en cours afin d'établir une datation au carbone 14.
Saga Eugène / InMoov : Jour 117 (collage / montage)
By Anar on Monday 25 November 2013, 09:24 - InMoov
Ce week-end Mad et Gilou sont passés à la maison et on a bossé sur le robot.
Tandis que mes deux acolytes effectuaient des test de "ramp" (gestion des accélérations / décélérations) sur les moteurs à l'aide d'un autre potentiomètre que celui extrait des moteurs, je me suis affairé à collé les différentes parties de la cage thoracique, d'un biceps et d'un avant-bras.

Recently a user named Balse posted on the InMoov's website about a problem on the palm of the hand named WristlargeV3.
I had a look at it and corrected the part...
Saga Eugène / InMoov : Forearm CAD data
By Anar on Sunday 3 November 2013, 09:43 - Forearms
CAD data of the InMoov's right forearm are now available for download as STEP (.stp) and IGES (.igs) format.
These parts have been completely retro-engineered from the original STL files and are ready to be used in any CAD solid package.
As I won't upload the left version if you need the left forearm, just perform a mirror of all the parts.
ЗАПОВЯДАЙТЕ !
UPDATED November 15th 2013
The following parts are now also available as step and iges :
- robcap3V1
- elbowshaftgearV1
- robcap3V1+elbowshaftgearV1 (as single part)
- RobPart4V3
- RobPart5V2
And the complete forearm as a single file will be uploaded tomorrow.
The next parts that will be made as solid CAD will be the complete right hand.
So stay tuned...
How to modify a STEP file in DesignSpark Mechanical (tutorial)
By Anar on Tuesday 22 October 2013, 19:10 - Tutorials
On the DesignSpark forum many people are asking why a STEP file is locked and can't be updated when imported in DSMech.
And they are right to think that this is a very bad point !
I completely agree and I hope the developers will allow STEP modifications in future versions. DSMech will gain popularity if they do so !
But there's a solution and it's called SketchUp...
Edited 29/04/2014 : there's a much easier way as mentioned by Didier in the comments. Thanks Didier !
