Robot Arm 2026

A 4-DOF desktop pick-and-place arm on the EEZYbotARM Mk2 four-bar topology — yaw, shoulder, elbow and a geared gripper. ESP32-S3 + PCA9685 driving three MG996R servos and an SG90 gripper, on a 4S 18650 pack. Every component modeled from real vendor CAD.

Heads up: samples are here to be fun and spark ideas. They may be incomplete or unverified — use as a starting point, not a finished product.

A 4-DOF desktop robot arm on the proven EEZYbotARM Mk2 kinematic topology: a four-bar parallel linkage keeps the forearm level as the shoulder swings, so the geometry does the work three servos otherwise couldn't.

A real mechanism, not a render

Yaw rotates the whole arm on a printed slewing ring; shoulder and elbow servos sit low in a bracket and drive the linkage; a geared two-jaw gripper opens and closes on an SG90. Every joint was swept through its range and checked for collisions, and every servo is captured on a real bearing wall — the flange bears on solid printed material, not a friction fit.

Real components, honest power

The Feather ESP32-S3 and PCA9685 are modeled from genuine vendor CAD; the servos, BMS, buck and battery holder from measured or datasheet-built parts. The power chain is sized for what three MG996Rs actually draw: a 4S 18650 pack → BMS → an 8 A UBEC for the 5 V servo rail, with the logic fed separately — not the undersized regulator the concept started with.

What's in the pack

Print-ready STL for all 14 printed parts, editable STEP for each, a wired BOM with real parts, an assembly guide covering the linkage and the slewing-ring build, six renders, and a self-contained interactive 3D viewer.
