Flexy-Hand
Greetings all,
The Flexy-Hand - A proof of concept printable hand with "live hinge" flexible joints. Individually activated fingers using Filaflex filament as tendons (Alternatively use Nylon fishing wire) :
Printed in Makerbot Translucent Red and Filaflex hinges. Re-mix this idea into your own robotic or prosthetic project.
- Fingers open automatically, no return tendons or springs needed.
- "Frictionless" articulation - no rubbing parts.
- Stretchable tendons offering adaptive grip on irregular objects (only one motor required to activate all fingers).
- Fully printable solution, no vitamins required.
- Tough and rugged.
- Realistic form under a surgical glove.
