Flexy-Hand

Nice work! The range of motion is very short but could be extended with a little modification. The thumb should be able to touch the index finger at the very least. Range of motion is definitely one of the challenges when making prosthetics. Also getting the segments to move fluidly with little effort is another challenge. When I saw this I immediatly pictured a set of small servos pulling each tendon.

Trust me, the thumb and index finger do touch, tomorrow I will upload pictures of this pose.

Here are some images showing the thumb touching the first two fingers, and close to the ring finger.

I'm interested in prosthetics, but haven't purchased a printer yet. I had the same ideas you did on the servos to make it work just like a real hand.
