What the maker's parts list says

The Robot Studio's bill of materials adds up to $229.88 for both arms (a leader you move by hand and a follower that copies it) and $121.94 for one follower arm. Hugging Face puts the non-printed parts near $130. BOM, checked 7 Nov 2026.

What is not in those numbers

BOM totals exclude 3D printing (or buying printed parts), shipping and import duties. The Seeed servo kit price does not include printed parts.

Seeed lists the servo kit and the printed parts as separate products and an assembled kit as a third. See the table above for each price and stock.

Do I need a 3D printer?

Not if you buy the printed parts. The maker's files print on a 220 x 220 mm bed in PLA+ at 0.2 mm layers. Print files
