Date Version File Name Changelog
2026-03-31 v1.0 reBot_B601_DM_v1.0_20260331.step Initial upload
2026-04-25 v1.1 reBot_B601_DM_v1.1_20260425.step Added Cable Restraint for the 3 end joint motors to prevent loosening and disconnection. Fixed Joint 1 model from 4310 to 4340P. Added CNC part 02_Base_Reinforcement_Part.step at the bottom to enhance base rigidity.

This BOM is for the reBot Arm B601 DM robotic arm, which uses Damiao 43 series motors. The other version, reBot Arm B601 RS, uses RobStride motors; see the BOM here.

📊 Bill of Materials (BOM)

Warning

Declaration: The published BOM does not represent the final shipping version from Seeed. This open-source v1.1 is optimized for developers to reproduce at minimal cost, with some non-essential details simplified. The final Seeed production version will include metal laser engraving for foolproofing, some 3D printed parts will be replaced with metal for durability, clearances and machining tolerances will be adjusted for factory variation (balancing precision and cost), and custom wiring (e.g., braided sleeve protection) will be added at extra cost. However, the mechanical structure remains identical.

🧩 Printing Recommendations

  • Layer height: 0.2 mm
  • Nozzle: 0.4 mm
  • Supports: Add as needed
  • Materials: High-temperature and load-bearing parts use ABS with 30–80% infill; may also use nylon or carbon-fiber reinforced materials. Cosmetic parts use PLA with 15% infill.
  • Recommended materials for load-bearing parts:

🛒 Purchased Parts (Standard Parts)

Warning

Since everyone will need to assemble and tighten the screws themselves, standard hex socket screws have been selected. After prolonged operation, the screws may loosen, which will affect the precision of the robotic arm. For this reason, you are required to purchase additional hot melt glue to perform thread locking on the screws at each joint.

If you have a power drill or similar tools, you may choose to buy lock washers or thread-locking screws instead. However, it is extremely important that you use the lowest torque setting when using an electric screwdriver to avoid thread stripping, which will result in irreversible damage.

About Power Supply

The robotic arm is shipped without a power supply by default. You may connect your own battery, or purchase a reliable 24V 14.6A MeanWell power supply made in Taiwan. Additionally, you will need to buy a three-pin plug compliant with local standards and a wiring harness with XT30 female connector.
