If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you must distribute your contributions under the same license as the original.
If you are interested in building a DB-01, you should definitely read the original license.
A DB-01 requires 5 types of components.
1.) Those parts that can be printed in a 3D printer, for example. You could also use a CNC milling machine to make the parts.
2.) Electronic components like motors, microcontrollers, sensors, power supply, cables and so on.
3.) Various small parts such as springs, screws, threaded rods, …
4.) The firmware. All the program code so that the different electronic components interact with each other.
5.) A remote control. DB-01 can be controlled in various ways. Regardless of this, I strongly recommend a remote control according to my scheme so that you can use your DB-01 to its full extent.
I will publish all complete parts list as soon as I have completed the prototype. The same goes for the firmware.
Yes. No matter whether in individual components or as “ready to go”.
In any case, I will ensure purchasing options for all required components. This means, for example, offering fully printed parts or required electronic components in a online shop or showing other sources of supply.
I’m planning to produce the DB-01 in small series. I could offer different equipment packages, adapted to the respective needs. If everything works out, it could be in the first / second quarter of 2021. I expect a prototype towards the end of 2020.
I’m not a multi-million dollar company, but I’m pursuing my goals. One of them is to give the DB-01 to the public in the sense of a free, digital and creative expression of culture.
Millions of people share their works on the Internet as public goods so that other people can use them. Whether music, pictures, videos, 3D models …
I and every contributor want to enrich this culture. But I or we don’t make music. We are technology fans and build robots.
If you are enthusiastic about this project and would like to support me, you are very welcome!
It depends. You can buy all parts individually and assemble your DB-01 yourself or you can buy it completely ready. You could also print the required frame parts yourself, which would save you money.
Most electronic components are commonly available on the market. I use – and highly recommend – only to buy and install high-quality fabrications.
The various small parts such as screws, threaded rods etc. should not be underestimated. I only use stainless steel. This comes at a price, but it gives lasting corrosion resistance. If you want to save some money, you could also use galvanized screws.
With regard to some electronic components and consumer goods, I try to get in contact with manufacturers in order to be able to supply appropriate parts at attractive prices.
I can list exact price lists upon completion of the prototype. You can then decide for yourself what you want to buy or do yourself.
As soon as I have completed the prototype, I will provide all the print data required free of charge.
I deliberately chose this time because I want to avoid the circulation of content / files that are not meant to be finished or do not work in the end.
As soon as the print data has proven itself in my practical tests, i’m happy to provide you with the data.
I openly provide all of my development work. You can also modify your DB-01 as you like under the specified license model. Admittedly, working with 3D software or programming microcontrollers is not for everyone. But basically you can learn everything. I’m also happy to help and advise you if you have any questions or need changes.
