NIOP Brace Plate

thingiverse

This mounting bracket secures the drive-line for the NIOP Kwawu Remix and Shelbow modules from the NIOP modular arm system. It is suggested that you print this bracket in PETG, though PLA works. The example shown in these photos has not been tied with a knot yet so the recipient can make a final adjustment when they receive it. The small gold pin seen in the pictures was used to keep the drive-line secure during shipping. The drive-line should be tied tightly to the hole at the end of this bracket. You can apply a drop of super glue to the knot for extra reinforcement. A 2" wide strip of nylon webbing was used as backing to prevent the neoprene brace from tearing under pressure. This mounting bracket can be bonded to the nylon webbing with Locktite plastic bonder in addition to stitching to ensure it responds when pulled. It is strongly advised that you consult a professional prosthetist for guidance before using this device. Improperly fitted devices can cause permanent damage to the wearer, so seek professional help. If you cannot afford to see a doctor or live where they are unavailable, visit enablingthefuture.org to find a volunteer prosthetist who can assist.
