BetaBots-Robot-Arm-Project

My printable robot arm is inspired by the well known industry robots, but printable. The goal is to develop a open source robot arm to use in private or small businesses and make robot development available for every one. The arm should lift about 2 kg enough to perform every day tasks. Currently robot arms are expensive or small and weak, or clumpy.
