3D model description

🔧 Design Concept
Nova’s full upper body brings the next level of expressive robotics to your workspace. This modular, servo-ready design includes dual articulated arms, a rotating torso, and mechanically expressive hands, all engineered for high-precision movement and effortless integration.
Every t, mount, and linkage is optimized for clarity, strength, and adaptability — making Nova not just a display piece, but a reliable humanoid platform for real-world interaction, control systems, and embodied AI.

📦 Includes:

Left & Right Arms with servo-compatible t architecture

Full rotating torso base with modular segment

Fully posable articulated hands (finger-by-finger control)

Dedicated mounts for RealSense D455 3D depth-sensing camera

Wiring clips and brackets for clean cable management

Designed for ST3215-HS smart servos with daisy-chain

🎓 Purpose & Use Cases
Nova isn’t just a robot — she’s a modular learning system and an expressive mechanical companion.
Perfect for:

STEM education – Teach kinematics, servo control, and systems

Hobbyists and makers – Expand, personalize, and modify to your vision

R&D labs and AI developers – Use Nova as a lightweight humanoid testbed for vision, speech, or object interaction projects

Whether you're building a robotic assistant, developing new motion systems, or just exploring what’s possible — Nova gives you a rock-solid starting point.

Manufacturing settings

Printing Recommendations
I've used Hyper PLA for all parts printed.
Ensure that parts have strong infill (50%) and 0.8mm resolution to withstand stress and provide durability.

Parts required:
ST3215-HS Servos from Waveshare.com
ESP32 Servo Driver Expansion Board, Built-In WiFi and Bluetooth from Waveshare.com
Intel RealSense D455 Depth Camera from Networkhardwares.com
Ultra Slim Multiport Hub 4 Ports USB 3.0 Adapter from Amazon.com
M2 M2.5 M3 Hex Socket Countersunk Screws from Amazon.com
3x8x3mm Chrome Steel Miniature Bearing from Amazon.com
12V 10A Power Supply Adapter from Amazon.com
USB 3.1 USB-C Reversible Angled to 90 Degree Up Angled A Male Data Cable from Amazon.com
Carefully follow the wiring table to connect the servos to the driver board.

Ensure all connections are secure and test each part for smooth movement before final assembly.

I sell the software separately, email [email protected] or message me cults3d.isosite.org

  • DONATE: Make a donation via Ko-Fi 💜.
  • WORD OF MOUTH: Invite your friends to come, discover the platform and the magnificent 3D files shared by the community!

Sharing and ing on Cults3D guarantees that designs remain in makers community hands! And not in the hands of the 3D printing or software giants who own the competing platforms and exploit the designs for their own commercial interests.

Cults3D is an independent, self-financed site that is not able to any investor or brand. Almost all of the site’s revenues are paid back to the platform’s makers. The content published on the site serves only the interests of its authors and not those of 3D printer brands who also wish to control the 3D modeling market.
