I'm not sure what the "fill out form if you are interested in building" link is all about on github, but at a glace, this looks like a solid project to build IMO.

Amazing, thx for sharing.

Manipulating with objects or serving 3D printer sounds like perfect task for robotoc arm, but cutting or machining not really. Its heavy work and it would be more suitable for cartesian XYZ machine. I have no real experience with robots in production, but Ive seen super expensive robots serving other machines and failing quite often.

That arm could wipe nozzle just before print starts, open/close cabinet door when needed, move camera in space for some crazy timelapse, maybe 3D scan model on build plate, photo session shooting of every model you printed or if you really get mad it could also switch extruders for multi material setup. It would be awesome to have that at home, shame I dont have knowledge, time and money to accomplish that 🥺 maybe in the future
