Stronger bolts, threadless arms. and double threaded arms.

Split the bolts down the middle and printed flat. Also made an arm with no threads and one with threads on both sides.

Because I wanted to be about to chain the arm segments together via 2 arms > 1 arm > 2 arms > etc. I created a threadless arm to let the bolts pass through and let me chain these infinitely without ending up with some joints having two threaded ends (This makes tightening a mess). 

Also, glue the bolts together. Dry fit them first to make sure you are not accidentally glue two of the same side of a bolt (when printing multiple).

Why did I do this? What purpose? Pfft, what good is robot-like arm if not biggest robot-like arm?

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

Split the bolts and reduces the size the the head by 50%. The split bolts come in 4 sizes to fit single, double, triple, and quadruple arm pieces per bolts. The bolt split and orientation increases the strength of the bolts a metric frick-ton.
