What it is
PAROL6 is a 3D-printed desktop robot arm with 6 axes driven by open-loop NEMA 17 steppers. It is designed like an industrial robot in its mechanics, control software and use. STL files, BOM, firmware and the commander software are open source.
Difficulty 3 of 5. Maker says you need basic terminal, Git and Python skills; self-built robot is yours to make safe source
What it can do
- Reach 408 mm to the flange
- Carry 0.5 to 1 kg payload
- Repeat positions to 0.1 mm
- Run from Python API, ROS 2 and MoveIt, or the Commander GUI
