Dual Action Cable Anchor (Flextender)
thingiverse
The Mechen hands have faced criticism due to their elastic or spring-powered finger extension feature, which makes gripping weaker when flexing. To address this, a potential solution involves utilizing a rod that activates a hinge mechanism and engages extension cables. This alternative design employs 10 heavy-duty cables with minimal stretch for the flexors, while the extensors can use 60-pound nylon monofilament. Demonstrations of this approach can be viewed on YouTube, and more details are available at enablingthefuture.org. The linked .stl files require specific printing settings and screws for assembly, and modifications may be necessary to fit the Cyborg Beast gauntlet. Updated files were provided on March 31, 2014.
