    This is taking longer than expected, mainly because I have a motorbike & car project running as well... here's my progress.
    The base was based on Smittys' shape, but went with more or less your arm design because I couldn't justify CNC costs vs making them myself.

    I also saw one of the guys on your thread put the servos on the base which I also liked, and plan to do the same.

    I'm considering placing all the servo control gear underneath but for problems with any maintenance in the future so not decided on that one yet.

    So thanks again Chris, all made possible by your generosity in providing decent open source info.

    Great progress :thumbs

    It would be best if you started your own build thread and cover details like changes for pragmatic reasons, and how you went about it, what you chose to use and why, that way other future members will similarly benefit, without cluttering @knaufinator's build thread.

    OK will do, I did wonder whether I should or not, just didn't want to steal Chris' thunder.
