So a few years ago I created another channel on YouTube, called “Almost Ironman” but I’ve decided to stop posting there and just stick with “ScottPrestonTV“. Too much work when I don’t even have one channel doing well, to try to maintain two. So in my spare time I’ve started working on my exoskeleton again. […]
Built a new “intro” and adding some movement to my video clips.
The first part of the MK3 Exoskeleton the MK1 arm (forearm). 3D Editing Software – Fusion 360. CNC – Shapeoko 3 w/HDZ. Materials – PLA for Protptype 3D Parts. 1/4″ 6061 Aluminum Plate, 4-40 Stainless Screws w/Lock Nuts, 3d Printed Spacers Next part the bicep and actuator.

So yes I created a channel, Almost Iron Man. The name is suppose to be fun, it’s about all my adventures trying to make a suit and make my home smart. Here’s my first video: Enjoy!

Dave Jansen was kind enough to post these, I’ll repost, since they have me 🙂 Part 1 Part 2
This is a “selfie” of my arm prototype. Finding ergonomics more of a challenge, but that’s why you build it!
