The MeArm is a small robot arm, designed make robotics and coding available at low cost. The project has been hugely successful in its objectives, due to the massive number of clones that have been made and sold across the world. There isn't an online market place where you can't buy a copy of this project. We continue to support the product through income made from the sale of high quality robot kits, manufactured and shipped from the UK.

This repository contains the design and cutting files for the MeArm. The MeArm is an Open Source 4DOF robot arm. It is intended to be a low cost and accessible robotics project for STEAM education.
Laser cut (3mm) dxf files and Assembly instruction pdf files are sorted into folders based on versions.
Files are collected from the various sources listed above.
Available in this repository
- V3.0 Revised with no elastic bands, still requires a PCB. Build time around 40 minutes.
- V2.0 Designed for MeArm Pi Kickstarter, incorporates a PCB in the base. Requires elastic bands or nitrile O rings. Build time 30 minutes.
- V1.0 First finished version. No PCB required. Build time around 2 hours.
All hosted on Thingiverse .
- V1.0 (First Finished Version)
- V0.4 (Considered the Beta Arm)
- V0.3 (Considered the Alpha Arm)
- V0.2 (Heavy Weight Revision)
- V0.1 (Proof of Concept)

All other code is open source so please feel free to do anything you want with it; you buy me a beer if you use this and we meet someday (Beerware license).
Also this boiler plate is yoinked from Sparkfun with thanks. Images are CC-SA-NC soz, have the files and design but take your own pics ;)
