  Thanks!

  There is a guide available in the repo's wiki: https://github.com/hrc2/blossom-public/wiki

  Our contributors' forks and extensions may also be useful:

  Regarding sourcing the parts, there are online services available to order 3D-printed parts as you would a PCB. The *.stl files are available in the wiki. Though with how accessible 3D printers have become — the well-supported Ender 3 is available for under $100 at Micro Center — you may want to consider taking up printing as a family activity.

  Imitation learning with iPhone based teleoperation of a low-cost robot arm.

  Modern robotics with deep learning/imitation learning is surprisingly accessible. The low-cost robot arm I used in this project is very easy to 3D print and assemble: https://github.com/trzy/robot-arm

  An iPhone app is used to teleoperate the arm and gather examples of an action. You then train the model and deploy it and the arm performs the actions based on current camera input and joint angle state.

  This my 3d printed robot arm project (by thomashiemstra)

  Thanks, that's very interesting, bookmarked! I found https://github.com/thomashiemstra/fred whilst searching, which also uses dynamixel motors, but very expensive ones.

  It does look very smooth motion-wise though!
