About this program
BCN3D Moveo
A fully 3D-printable 5-axis robotic arm with gripper, designed by BCN3D Technologies in collaboration with the Generalitat de Catalunya's Departament d'Ensenyament as an open-source educational platform.
Specifications
- DOF: 5 (base yaw, shoulder, elbow, wrist pitch, wrist roll) + gripper
- Motors: 5× NEMA 17 steppers for joints, 1× servo for gripper
- Controller: Arduino MEGA 2560 + RAMPS 1.4 + A4988 drivers
- Firmware: Modified Marlin (included in repo)
- Structure: Fully FDM-printed (PLA/ABS), 32 parts
- Skill level: Intermediate
- License: CC-BY-SA (open hardware)
