Compliant Mechanism Biter/Gripper

thingiverse

This is a custom-designed set of pliers/grippers, which I've dubbed the biter, built to generate tremendous amounts of torque. Exercise extreme caution and refrain from inserting your fingers into the grippers. It's a single unit designed for printability without supports. The joints are made up of flexible compliant mechanisms that allow it to be printed as one solid piece. This model won't work with PLA; I recommend using rigid TPU/TPE (98A or higher), PCTPE, or Nylon without fillers. If you experience any printing issues, feel free to reach out and ask for assistance.
