Hand assembly
| Mount servo with 2 screws, note the orientation |
|
| A few tabs of glue, and the other support. Raise it off the table while the glue dries. |
|
| Lay out the finger part. Note the orientation of the notches |
|
| The dowel needs a bit of sanding to make it fit. |
|
| You can use a cutter to snip off excess |
|
| First joint. The moving dowel is sanded a bit more (looser) than the stops. Notice the small disk |
|
| Next do the 4th joint |
|
| 3rd joint |
|
| Attach string to the end of the longest servo arm in the kit,
making a small ring from the green wire (unless you manage to thread
the string through the tiny hole).
Rotate the servo to the leftmost (counterclockwise) position, and then push the servo arm onto the servo motor such that the string points at the rectangular hole |
|
| Glue on a fingernail (not shown). When the glue is dry, attach the rubber band |
|
| Position the finger (no glue), feed the string up to the top, pull it tight and tie a knot |
|
| The second servo uses the tall holders |
|
| Again turn the servo all the way counterclockwise, mount the arm with hook and string to point to the hole |
|
| Third finger: same drill |
