Grip locking raptor hand palm

thingiverse

This is a fundamental concept for an advanced locking grip system tailored to e-nable's Raptor hand. A simplified model will serve as the foundation, but it needs substantial refinement by experienced designers who can take this basic idea and build upon it. The primary component, a pin, slides seamlessly into a modified palm, complete with standard cordage threaded through its interior. Applying either a twisting or sliding motion effectively pinches the cords in place. Tasks Ahead: 1. Revising cord holes to harmonize with existing channels. 2. Designing a mechanism capable of securely holding the pin in a locked position while allowing one-handed operation. 3. Precision-tuning tolerances so that hand modifications do not interfere with standard functionality. 4. Possibly relocating the mechanism to the knuckle area, where it might be more effective and robust due to the additional space available there. This relocation could also enable a larger pin, enhancing the overall design's strength.
