thingiverse

This prosthetic solution can only be adapted in a patient over 3 years old or an adult under the supervision of a healthcare professional, therapist, physical therapist, physiatrist, and with the help of a psychologist. Please read the safety manual and use of this prosthetic solution carefully first. CAP AMERICA FLEXY ARM II is a project designed and developed by artist Wilmer A. Garcia P., a student at the National University of Colombia. The model is based on the Flexy arm, the Flexy_Hand 2 by Steve Wood (Gyrobot), the RIT arm from Rochester Institute of Technology, and the work of e_NABLE. This project was developed by the team e-Nable Colombia and the 3D Materialization Foundation in Bogotá, with the participation and support of Recreartech in the 3D scanning process. All parents and children were informed about the study and research for the development of this work. For children aged 3-16, consent was explained by the principal investigator and signed by the children and their parents. Written informed parental consent was obtained to publish pictures and videos from the research study. Detailed safety guidelines were provided to parents on using and caring for the prosthetic arm. The link to these guidelines is http://enablingthefuture.org/build-a-hand/safety-guidelines/. The fingers are printed on Flexy materials, while the hand, forearm, arm, and other parts are made from PLA material.

The print settings used for this project include: Printer Brand: Prusa I3 Rafts: Does not Matter Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.15 mm Infill: 80 Post-printing, the impressions require a thermofoming process.
