hand experiment 101

cults3d

Prosthetic hand design is looking good, but I'm not entirely convinced that all the parts fit together seamlessly (I still need to print it myself to be sure). Give it a shot and see how it turns out! To assemble this prosthetic hand, run elastic thread through the top holes and secure it tightly at the fingertips and inside of the palm. For the bottom holes, use regular string instead. In my initial attempt, I tied the non-elastic strings in a loop around the finger tips, but depending on the thickness you choose, you might be able to tie them off directly at the tip. Leave the bottom strings long – when you pull them, the hand should close nicely. Warning: I haven't printed this design yet, and the fingers are slightly rounded due to the lack of flat surfaces. Hopefully, it will still print well!
