This is a fully articulated version of a factorio inserter (loosely based on some reference images). Every joint is pose able and the claws can flex open to grab something.

I only found a model that didn't move and a big model that required servos so this is a nice middle ground.

I used a standard skateboard ball bearing (22x7mm / 608) to lower the center of gravity and have it rotate smoothly, but it should be perfectly possible to use a 3d printed version. The screws (m2) are required, you can probably use 6mm screws for everything but I used 8mm for the base and head and 2 4mm screws for the joint on the arm.

The base needs supports, the rest can be printed without (do orient it correctly!). As a pro tip you can apply fuzzy skin to the parts that join together so they hold their position better
