Adaptive Grip Mechanism for Prosthetic Hand

The design was revamped with the Whippletree Tensioner STL, featuring a larger slot carved out for an additional peg at the pivot point. This innovative idea stems from Steve Wood's Gyrobot concept, where he created triangular connectors that enable individual finger flexibility until resistance is met. Wood's mechanism is simplified by replacing small triangles with posts made from 3mm filament, serving as pulleys. With the Raptor Adaptor, this device allows for a smooth grip on objects. A small zip-tie can be used on the central peg, and the thumb should be tensioned separately using a separate zip-tie. On January 31, 2015, the original design was removed to prevent confusion.
