Servo Claw Machine

Servo Claw Machine

*** UPDATE 15/05/2025 (see below) ***

 

Introducing my biggest project here on makerworld, the Servo Claw Machine is a toy to keep on your desk or on display to have fun trying to catch anything. I also think it's a great project to learn how to use Arduino and acquire great manual dexterity in assembling mechanical components.

WARNING: This project comes with a guide where I explain piece by piece how to assemble this claw machine, despite this, it requires a good level of manual dexterity and time to spend. It took me about an hour to assemble the final version.

Assembly Guide

At the bottom of the page you will find the complete pdf guide, here is the list of unprinted components, the electrical circuit and the code (these are all things inside the pdf).

To get the code see my repo https://github.com/LucaDiLorenzo98/claw_machine.
If you have any suggestions or find a way to improve some aspect let me know in the comments.

 

Conclusion

Let me know in the comments what you think and what you would improve, your opinion counts a lot and I really care about this project which I would like to maintain and simplify as much as possible. ✌️😁

I upload two new parts in the “Updated Parts” folder. This pieces makes easier to insert TPU belt into the holes.

As requested by some users in the comments I have filnally included a version compatible with A1 Mini in the print profiles, if you download the models from the STL you will have to print the two parts ‘base_a1mini_version’ and ‘base_controller_a1mini_version’ instead of ‘base’. Please note: you will need two m3 screws to connect the two parts.
