Mechanical Arm Test Fixture

I was wanting to test software for an upcoming project and required a mechanical arm to do so.I chose basic forms since the goal was to test function. Future revisions have better aesthetics.
This was designed and built on the fly with little more than an idea of the finished arm.
There were mistakes made in both thinking and implementation but the arm did its job in the end. Corrections are included in the files for printing where necessary
This is just the mechanical parts. Electronics and operation will not be discussed here.
This is printed from ABS files and build instructions are all included.
Any changes recommended with be noted.
Parts 2 and 3 will cover the electronics and work holder.”
