Low Profile Tension box for enable Gauntlet

thingiverse

This is a custom take on the Team UnLimbited Gauntlet V4 design. My main goal was to seamlessly integrate the gripper box into the gauntlet itself so it can fit snugly on the user's wrist without taking up too much space. This release includes all necessary files for creating thermo-formed gauntlets for e-nable devices and is currently compatible with both Raptor Reloaded and Phoenix hands. When printed in PLA, the gauntlet is heated to form a strong and natural shape. I didn't include the forming jig this time around. I designed the bolts around M2, M3, and M4 bolts, which are widely available in various head types and lengths. The fabrication guide will eventually have a table showing the scale of prints and the required size bolts. The bolts are meant to spin freely in the plastic, so those holes need to be drilled out after printing for most sizes. The end nut should be a locknut; it's the captured nut in the whippletree that moves. The cover is thermoformed separately and slides into the holding slots. For best results, heat the cover and quickly form it over your already formed gauntlet by sliding the cover into the slots. Before the cover sets, remove it from the slots and bend it slightly more, letting it harden in place. This way, the cover is slightly tight and holds better to the slots. This design is still a work in progress, and I'm providing it here for beta testing only.
