I got the prototype as contributor
First, I have to clarify that I got the alpha version of this robot. I have been mounting jjRobots since the first one. Long version short: this is the best Robotic Arm you can get in the market. OPEN source, 3D printer-made (most parts), Python written, and Arduino based. It has everything. And the electronics can be used in many other projects.
Christian (Suffolk Edu) –
Fun and educational
We got 2 units (with out 3D printed parts) and everything just went PERFECT. The support team was always there and they have modified the assembly guide after our comments.

the 3D printed parts are simply AWESOME
I love the robot and everything but I have to appreciate the quality of the 3D parts SET. I read that they were printed with Ingeo PLA instead the regular one but, boy… Check the photo below. Not a single layer shift/ over or under-extrusion. I have been printing 6 years but never got this close to a perfect printing.
Callum Lazar –
Plenty of possibilities
I am just printing a longer arm to use with the Robot. Being a 3D printed robot makes it extremely modifiable.
Sandra Salazar –
Great SCARA type Robotic Arm
Fast shipping and fantastic robotic Arm. Sorry for the mistake fulfilling the delivery address field!
Phillip –
Even precise with plastic parts
Sorry for my English. I got only the electronic and hardware elements. No motors. No steel bars. I got them locally. And I can see jjRobots designed the robot to be used almost with any configuration. Thanks!

5 stars
I bought the elements separately (Devia board, motors) and at the end, it was a mistake. But fixable! The cables makes the difference and all the different elements involved in the project, I think should be “supervised” by someone who know. I mean, the aliexpress items come with certain tolerances and that made setting everything up a little bit harder than it should. I am speaking of my case, I never got the jjRobots full kit.

The third robot I create from jjrobots
This was my 3rd robot created from jjRobot. I just got the devia control board as I got everything I needed from the previously purchased kits :-D. This is a top notch Robotic Arm. For a 3D printed robot…it is extremely fast and precise

I did not know I needed the 3D parts to complete the KIT
Everything was fine but I thought the 3D printed parts were optional. 4/5
Isabel Rt. –
The mechanical design is flawless but…
I got the “almost” full kit: power supply, steel bars, motors, everything but the 3D parts and LIDAR sensor (out of stock) and I have to say that I needed to step on some bearings so I could introduce them properly. I was aware of the tolerance requirement with the 3D parts but even printing slowly It was a little bit hard. In the KITs defense I will state that I was using cheap PLA filament and there was burr everywhere, so I can not blame anyone but me. Beside that, I really like the robot. I will upload a video soon.

I took more than expected to get here
The robot is working. The software is powerful and easy to use but the packet took 4 more days than declared in the checkout. So 3 stars

great robot and exceptional supportBought this robot with no previous experience in the field. It was fun to assemble it (very easy) and learning the details on the way. Great the option to be able to connect to the board with USB or Wifi, gives a lot of flexibility. Robot arm is precise and fast, can be controlled with python by simple commands. Direct joint control or world coordinate X,Y,Z can be used, the reverse kinematic is solved on the Devia board. Also trajectories can be specified…. all you need to learn, make experience and develop great projects!
Callum –
I got it after 10 days NOT 3
I like the robot but first: -It took me more than 3 hours to assemble it (not 2 as stated) – I got it after 10 days, not 3 as offered in the checkout. So I will give the KIT 3 stars
Silvia –
Add the suction cup actuator
I REALLY like the robot but I think it needs a suction cup. It will add a lot of potential grabbing small elements with plain surfaces. I will come back when it is ready and give the project 5 stars
Charles Holland –
Big Big Big!
I thought it would be smaller than It is. It is about 22 cm tall. Not bad if you want to use it to pick up big objects but I can not store it easily. Beside that, I really like it
Ferdinand Chaa –
shipping delays
It took 12 days to get to destination. I am from Philipiness and even stating that the parcel would need up to 10 days to get here, it took 12. Bad shipping service. The robot is easy to set and works nicely
Malcom M –
please keep evolving the robot
Maybe the best OPEN SOURCE robotic arm available. Hands down
Rebecca (Mallington School) –
P-E-R-F-E-C-T robotic arm kit
The Assembly guide is fun to follow, well explained, the control smooth and the Python code clear. Perfect for my students
Idafe Concepcion –
Me ha encantado montarlo
Se ve que se ha metido tiempo en el diseño del robot. Se nota en cada pieza y en como se mueve. 5 estrellas

After building the Air hockey Robot…
I made it using the same component used in the Air hockey robot and it worked! (why should not ?:-D)
Finalda Cop –
Good robot, better software
As as software engineer I can tell that the control APP (python) has been created with love and more than anything: knowledge! 5 stars. Sorry for my broken English, not my mother tongue 😛
Christian Follen (Alabarca School) –
Perfect for my students
I am not a mechanical designer but I really admire the 3D parts design and accuracy drawing.
