We designed this robot to be fabricated mostly from 3D printed PLA filament to avoid machining. After conducting gear analysis we are able to use two identical large gears to drive the system. The servo interfaces one of the 3D printed links via a cutout. The two links of the mechanism have fillets to connect the raised spacer part of the link with the main body. This is to ease the stress concentrations from sharp edges. Finally, we add metric screws with enough length to account for the spacers, as well as bearings when needed. An important consideration is the tolerance of the holes in the 3D printed plastic (~0.05mm). Here is a render of the final CAD assembly.
