Robotic Extrusion: 6-axis 3D printing

Re:Robotic Extrusion: 6-axis 3D printing by plainOldText on Wednesday February 11, 2015 @03:57PM (#9035665)

Speaking of robotic arms, does anyone know where I could buy a good (if possible cheap) robotic arm which I could program? I'm interested in something similar to "Dummy" in Iron Man.

This was on kickstarter a while back:

Yeah, this one could be used for 3d printing and electronics assembly, I'm interested in something which could have the capability to manipulate objects, say a tennis ball, etc, or allow a camera to be mounted on it.

I'm planning on making an open source 3D printable robot arm in the next year or so. I've made a good 3D printed remote control car that uses few external parts (no screws). Working on custom printable motors now and then I'll probably do an arm. Nothing to share yet, but if you want you can google my company (Flutter Wireless) and join our mailing list. I have a bunch of circuit board to deliver first but I will be focusing a lot on robotics as time permits.
