Heck yeah! Should I use the email in your profile? Let me know. 
Thanks!
Sure, email away, hopefully I can get something to work. 
Sorry I couldn’t get it sent last week. I just sent a file your way. Thanks!
Hi all,
A few questions about the models. One has anyone found that the servo does not align with the mounting holes on any of the brackets? Something is wrong there.
I am also building a robot in solidworks as I save some money to buy the parts. Does anyone have dims for some of the hard ware? The servo mounting rivets, bearings, servo horns?
I would be more than willing to model any and all the parts people are using if I can get the dims for the parts.
At this point I have the right leg Biped modeled in and will work on the left leg. This design is the one from the web page.
As for exporting to other programs, I can do the following and will.
Parasolid *.x_t
Step *.step
Acis *.sat
Stl *.stl
*3dxml (not sure what that format is)
Pro E
Autocad dwg, dxf, iges
Thanks
robli67,
I think Jim is looking for anyone that can make the SES (Servo Erector Sets) using solid works. PM Jim and He can give you the dimensions you need. He will not give you the original 3d cad data though.
Welcome to the forums! 8)
The 3D file for the servo was made by someone else. Not sure how accurate it is. The brackets that hold servos were created with a slight offset position (on both ends) for the holes. This makes the rivet fasteners hold better. The oversized holes (for the rivets) make it poossible to align the servo exactly in the bracket when using 3mm hardware. So both situations are handled pretty well.
I am not able to provide the dims for the rivet fastener, but I will look into it. I will also look to see what I can send you to get the 3D set up to date. Let us know what you convert and we will post them on the website. Thanks for the interest!
I was wondering about the servo too, didn’t seem to match the published data. I managed to find a more detailed model included in the Yellow Robot Model here nonlinear.eecs.berkeley.edu/raptor/SolidWorks/SolidWorks.htm but still seems to be a bit off - can’t confirm though (I’m in the very frustrating position of not owning any hardware yet and don’t have a set of verniers with me either 
).
Anyway, from all the published data I’ve been able to find and working from the Yellow Robot servo model, I’ve created my own servo model (no internals) that currently includes configurations for the HS475 and HS645. I’m hoping to add all the common servo configurations, so you just drop the model into your assembly, choose the config and voila the model dimensions change to match the selected servo.
Also, Jim has kindly sent me the corel file for the HBKR-01 chassis, so that should be done in the next couple of days (sorry I can’t get it done sooner, real life has a habit of getting in the way).
The only other new bits I’ve modelled is the 4-40 ball joints, managed to find some dims here e-clec-tech.com/linkage44014.html.
The models are still in progress but I’m happy to upload them (don’t know what the best way to do that would be though). As soon as they’re finished I’ll pass them on to Jim to post with the others.
Cheers,
Chris
Chris,
Any model’s that are closer to correct Servo would be great. I have Futaba servos for my RC stuff and don’t think they are the same size.
I would be willing to help do some modeling as I said above, I think Jim said he would get me some stuff. I have used Toolbox program to build the fasteners, at least the ones I have in my shop at the sizes listed.
I am in the same boat as for parts I need to save some money. My plan is to design a robot and purchase the pieces needed, then move on to the servos and controller.
I think Jim will post all the models you build. Keep up the good work.
thanks

Here are some pics of my work in progress Solidworks models. As I’ve mentioned before, as soon as they are finished I’ll give them to Jim to post, but I’ve provided links to the servo and dog bone if you want them in their current state.

I have solid works but I can’t make anything past reading the tutorial! I wish I could do what you do!
You have done a fantastic job!
One thing I am curious about is how a biped leg would look using the ASB-15 bracket.
Chris,
What are you using for a bearing model? I had created one based on a standard flanged bearing for 3 mm shaft. Yours looks different that the one I model.
Your link looks great.
thanks
Chris!
That looks awesome! You totally rock man!
Hmmm, yeah I cheated. I hadn’t been able to find dims for a standard 3mm bearing with flange yet, so I created a dummy one 'till I did. Would you mind making the one you made available?
Chris,
I can send it to jim for him to post or e-mail it to you. I would feel better if we had the one Jim uses. Then fix the one I have to match.
What would you like me to do? Does Jim have an email to send the models to?
thanks
I hope this works
I’ll try again if it doesn’t
Wow, your model looks awesome!
(I have to stop being lazy and start putting in some of the fastners on my model 
)
From this e-clec-tech page and Jim’s assembly page I got these bearing dims
ID: 3mm; OD: 8mm; Thickness: 4mm
I think this is a standard bearing, I just don’t know how thick the flange should be. Does this mactch yours?
Doh, having just written everying above, I just did a google search of “3mm bearing flange” and this page came up - I think this is all we need
I can provide the dims…
8mm od
3mm id
4mm total thickness
9.5mm flange od
.86mm flange thickness
Note there is a very small indent just above the flange on the 8mm cylinder that is about .5mm thick and probably the same in depth.
Hope this helps…
Great, thanks Jim.
Looking closer at the info on the link I posted earlier
It doesn’t match Jim’s
ok, is there away to post pics in the message without linking to another web page?
thanks

Rob,
There is no image attachment feature for these forums. What I do is use imageshack to host my pictures and then copy paste the pictur link that image shack provides after you upload the image.
