Still peanuts compared to Parlor 6 - 2450€ for a diy kit, 3690 € for the assembled thing.
Comment on Hugging Face releases a robotic arm you can 3D print for $100

The BOM for the components alone without the print is USD240. Why is the article talking about USD100?

I mean there are robot arms for a lot more than that, but that’s not the point. It’s like saying a Parol 6 costs 5 bucks, but it’s actually the price of the mounting screws.

Official repo says $114 per arm, but I didn’t check their math :) github.com/huggingface/lerobot

In the EU it is actually 114€ per arm

Their build instructions state 242 for a single arm. Lots of contradicting information. Maybe they are betting on insane economies of scale… 🙄

Still, that’s an entirely attainable goal for a community of compassionate printers like us, right? Estimate $500 apiece, and still a steal compared to the competition, and just imagine the joy each will bring to the lucky recipient, too! That’s awesome, any way ya slice it ^sorry-not-sorry^ 😜
