Overview

A fully 3D-printed educational arm released in July 2016 by BCN3D with the Catalan education department, based on Andreas Hölldorfer's earlier open arm. BCN3D never sold it, but published CAD, STLs, BOM and firmware, and it became one of the most-built DIY arms. The design has not been updated since 2016, so newer projects like the AR4, PAROL6 or Thor are better maintained.
