Hands down (lol) the best design we saw at tct 2015

If you've got some flexible filament: filaflex, ninjaflex, polyflex - etc

You NEED to print this model :-)

from my mini factory - prints in one go, no supports and is a fully working grabbing hand.
This will blow you away !
I'll upload a video later.
This is easily the coolest thing I saw at the show. Amazing piece of design !

Here's one I made last night fro yellow/orange polyflex. It looks yellow in the pictures, but orange to my eyes.

Prints in one go - no support needed.
Because the thumb print seperately for the first 75% of the print I added a small brim to give a little more stability. Easy top cut off afterwards.
It's just a brilliant design. One piece fully working articulated hand.

Since you've printed it, is PETG too brittle for this?

[curious aardvark]

yes, polycarbonate might work for a short while.

What the heck is the point of that thing?
