I havent even watched more than 10 minutes and i can already tell you enjoy these projects. Like you have everything in the description and thats great, so thank you for making it as easy as possible to follow along

[@zenandtheartofskateboarding]

absolutely rad, been looking for a first robotics project for a while and I thinks it's gonna be this, one of the best most in depth tutorials i've come across, plus a super cool concept and a dope aesthetic. Keep at it brother I genuinely believe teaching people to build robots is probably the greatest contribution anyone could make to the future of humanity.

[@chrisr236]

I suddenly had this idea that I wanted to build a robot arm but didn't have a clue where to start. This video has given me the base knowledge I need to make the next steps. Thanks!

[@gabriel-yt5dj]

did you do it?

[@_Kiren_]

You're back! :D Edit: Man. When this pandemic is over and I get access to my makerspace this is def. on the todo list!

Dude, not only you got a new subscriber, but a fan! Thank you so much, I really was struggling with a project and your explanation really helped!

[@Gl8Dy]

Welcome back Will.i.am ! I love your vids, I hope you and your channel keep growing.

[@EbenKouao]

Lool, more bigger projects on the way. Stay tuned! ;)

[@伟张-l5b]

Thanks for sharing your project. Recently, I am also making a robotic arm of my own. I am very lucky to see your video, which is very detailed and patiently explained, and the sound is very relaxing.

Half way through this great lockdown project for an old man. Finished the 3d printing and assembled the arm. Now I have learn about the software.Thank you for a well presented project and that stretches me - but not too much!! Best of luck.

[@EbenKouao]

Thanks Trevor, glad you found this project interesting. More projects on the way!

[@Kionoyo]

HOW LONG DID IT TAKE U 2 FINISH??

[@luisyevenes2025]

did you manage to do it? I am doing it and I have some questions

[@trevorsmith8283]

Didn't finish the glove bit but got distracted and tried to control it remotely using pots instead. . t have recently got back to it with a simpler 4 DOF robot using servos only. I will still keep playing as I learn a lot on the way. Keeps me young. P s I think the software needs debugging as I could not get it to work.

[@Noorstud]

The video was made of huge effort. Video editing takes time. I liked the way you represented the video steps. Thanks for sharing.

[@truecoloursgaming145]

Hello Eben, finally I found what I wanted. You are the best Arduino KZbin tutor ever!! Thanks a lot.

[@sadramohtadi]

Hey dude! Great video! You probably have fixed this by know, but at 13:48, there is a lot of stringing that's occurring, you can easily fix it by increasing the retraction length on your 3d printer

Im new to your channel and just started getting into arduino tech. Everything is new to me but I would like to know more about the fundamentals. How did you get involved in this tech and what helped you understand the inner working of this versatile technology. Thanks ol cheeky fella

[@EbenKouao]

Hey Jesse, I studied Computer Engineering... but it was most of my fundaments that really came from playing around with projects starting with getting an Arduino LED to blink and going on from there. Personally, trying to get the project to work forces you to get your fundamentals right. Cheers, and Good luck on learning with an Arduino

I love the design ,but could you go more in depth about where to plug in the wires on the board and all of that?

[@Greg-lx4zl]

hey man quick math quesition and also this is awesome dude, this is better than the last 3-d printed arm i saw and it's functionally better, also you went through everything and showed it working1 thank you!!!! but quick math question, you say it can lift 2kg max but for the MGR when i google it, the Maximum Stall Torque is 11 kg/cm @ (6V) aren't we like spacing out our torque or whatever so it can't actually pick up that much? I figured like 400 grams to a KG but 2? maybe some of my other robots are stronger than i thought... 0.0 idk if i missed it but can you explain that please? Also YOU'RE AWESOME!

[@EbenKouao]

Hi Greg, much appreciated, and thanks for the shout! You're right, this holds a comfortable weight of 600g. (Although It could theoretically hold up to 900g+) Yeah, I wish. The 2kg isn't correct, this was based on an earlier motor specs. I assume this was written in the article, I've corrected this now. Cheers!

[@Greg-lx4zl]

@@EbenKouao honestly i'm not sure i've been on here, other videos of yours, and your website so idk. but okay 600g ahh makes sense that's still pretty awesome most of the arms you can buy for 700 or 800$ have about the same payload! this is friggin cool man! If you need stuff 3-d printed let me know! Altho i bet you have some of them too hah!
