LittleBots Gripper 3D Printing Files
This 3D printed robot gripper is used for the LittleBot and the LittleArm Big. But it is also ideal as an addition to to any robot project where you would like to have a gripper.
This includes the 3D Printing files for:
- Actuated Finger
- Un-actuated Finger
- Palm
You will need to purchase a servo for this gripper. We recommend you use the MG90S servos from the LittleBots Store to ensure all dimensions are correct and the servo fits.
Note: These files were designed to be sliced in CURA.

The 3D printing files for the Littlebot/Walter 3D Printed Mobile arduino robot. We hope he will be a useful project for makers and classrooms around the world.
Printer Settings
- 0.3mm layer height
- PLA
- Print the Head Upside Down
Includes
- Head
- Base
- Wheels
- Swivel
Parts You May Need

This Arduino Sketch is the standard LittleArm firmware. It can be used with either the Android or Desktop Applications via bluetooth or USB
This is the Arduino sketch for the LittleArm 2C. This software allows serial control of the LittleArm with either USB or bluetooth. All code is heavily commented to aide education.
The primary Arduino Sketch for controlling the LittleArm Big arduino robot arm with either the bluetooth app or desktop programs.
This sketch allows control of the LittleArm 2C with the LittleArm Waldo.
The SensorCube is a sensor that provides proximity data from 3 different directions allowing for control of the LittleArm in 3D or of the individual joints
Training Arm is an arduino program which takes input from potentiometers in order to control the position of the arm. Meant to be used with the LittleArm Trainer Hardware
This is the most basic demo of the ultrasonic Sensor. This code commands the arm to raise and lower based on distance of an object from the sensor.

|
This code operates by storing increments of a motion, at the rate of serial communication, the entire time period when recording is activated. Much greater resolution than training_pendant_0.9 but also memory intensive.
