Basics

  • An Open Source Rotary Actuator developed by Gabrael Levine
  • Uses a BLDC , 3D Printed Parts, and some other parts like bearings etc

Potential Future Modificiations

  • Modify the plastic parts/gears via better plastics ( Polycarbonate vs Nylon vs ABS etc), or replace them with metal perhaps (need to see added weight vs strength and all that.
  • Make an integrated ODrive pcb (adapt the Odrive to a ring/circular plate, not a rectangle, most likely after development of odrive first)
  • See the off the shelf options reviewed by Skyentific , and This full dissasembly of one of them
