Comment on PAROL6 Desktop Robot Arm GPL-V3 with simulator/software/useful precision/low cost
Hazdaz@lemmy.world 1 year agoI didn’t think it was a scam, but I figured it was a way for them to make some money while still stating it is Open.
How many others are considering building one?

No one is making money off of small run hardware like this. The time invested in such a project will never be recuperated. This is a passion and/or university graduate project. The boards available are likely just extras from a small run they did with a prototyping service and were close to a minimum order quantity. If you order the same type of thing from somewhere like PCBway, you’ll be stuck with extras too.
I’m too busy learning AI for a project like this ATM, but I would like to build this at some point in the future.
