Hello Reachy Team,

I unfortunately broke a piece of reachy1.

I was wondering what was the best approach to fixing it?

Sincerely,

Xavier

Hi Xavier,

As we discussed on the phone, you can print the broken part yourself. Export the STL from Onshape (right-click on the selected part and export).

The best option is to make the piece with MJF, SLA, or SLS if you can. It will be stronger than with PLA.

Let us know how it goes.

Best,

Fabien

Hi Fabien,

It would be helpful to know which material was exactly used (also what finish/color/detailing) that was done to the material so that the replacement part would look seamless in the robot and not be a different looking part than the rest of the robot.

Thanks in advance!

Hello Marawan,

The material used is PA-12 (Polyamide-12) with MJF process. Then our manufacturer applied a coat of primer and sanded before spray-painting mat white paint.
