Additionally, one of the necessary STLs was not on Angel's Thingiverse post but was on his website, so I've added it here as well. Essentially, I just wanted to contribute to this fantastic project created by Angel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBelow, you will find the instructions for the project that Angel has created.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSummary\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant Note\u003c\/strong\u003e: I suggest you to go to \u003ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thor.angel-lm.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003eThor's Website\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/AngelLM\/Thor\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003eThor GitHub Repository\u003c\/a\u003e in order to download the latest version!\u003cbr\u003e\u0026lt;hr\/\u0026gt;\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThor\u003c\/strong\u003e is an Open Source and printable robot arm with six degrees of freedom.\u003cbr\u003eIts configuration (yaw-roll-roll-yaw-roll-yaw) is the same used by most of the manipulator robots on the market. In its extended position, Thor is about 625mm high and can lift loads up to 750 grams.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe project started in 2015 as a final degree project called “Design and impplementation of an Open Source, 3D printed 6DOF robotic arm”. Since then, this project has continued to develop little by little.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe main purpose of this project was to design a robot that could be used in universities and schools to teach robotics.With this in mind, the design had to be affordable and accessible. Releasing the source files and doing so under an open source licence was the best option: anyone could study any element of the robot in depth and, moreover, modify or adapt it to their needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThor has been developed using only open source tools: \u003ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.freecadweb.org\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003eFreeCAD\u003c\/a\u003e for the 3D modeling, \u003ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kicad.org\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003eKiCAD\u003c\/a\u003e for the PCB design and \u003ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/gnea\/grbl\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003eGBRL\u003c\/a\u003e as firmware for the control electronics.
