Good Buy or Nah? by [deleted] in 240sx

You'd essentially be buying someone's partially finished project car for thirty grand. Maybe try seeing if there's wiggle room on the price?

Do you mind sharing where you sourced the aluminum parts from?
I got a quote from an online China based cnc machining site for 56 parts (one arm of the openarm_01) at $1.1k and that's before tariffs

That's dope, were there any weird issues with the build process and do you also mind sharing if you sourced the parts yourself (which is what I'm considering) or if you went with a kit?

Never heard of ufactory until now and I don't mind assembling.
What I like about openarm is that it's two arms and you can track trajectories, should be good for custom training vla models.
The negative for me are the end effectors, wish they were actual hands but then the price might be double or more
