Flexible Joint Mold

youmagine

Printable mold for flexible joint of adjustable size. Drawing inspiration from and compatible with Gyrobot's Flexy Hand, this design is still in the experimental phase and may not work reliably across all applications (including prosthetics). For guidance on using various castable materials (mainly silicones), refer to https://github.com/daprice/Flexy-Joint/wiki/Materials. If you're also testing materials, your contributions would be greatly appreciated! When casting joints with this mold, secure the open holes with tape, being mindful that some adhesives can hinder the curing process of certain silicones (for instance, Kapton tape adhesive may slightly slow PDMS curing). Detailed instructions for casting are available at https://github.com/daprice/Flexy-Joint/wiki/Casting.
