I love this. I been thinking of using one of these as a pen holder. I downloaded the arms from Rob Ives. Any idea where I can obtain drawings for the other parts?
Just google (image search, that is) “Rob Ives Maquette” and you’ll come up with a number of pictures of his posts. You can see an evolution of the design from the early stages to the more recent.
I’m pretty sure that the version I’ve created is the latest iteration. Like all designs, it lends itself to tweaking. I just made some changes this morning that should allow more control over the level of friction in the joints.
