At last I finished cutting all HR07-I101 parts, with a few spares. So I am finished with the lathe cuts. The DARwIn-OP robot clone requires 15 HR07-I101s, 15 RX28-CAPs, and 4 FR07-F101. I thought about buying all these parts but making them wasn’t so bad, specially with the lathe’s quick-change tools it is easy to make identical parts. Tapping all the 2mm threads was a bit tedious.
Now I will polish and try to anodize the HR07-I101s and RX28-CAPs with natural aluminum finish (all other parts should be black anodized, still waiting for the black dye) before mounting.
