[Repaired] Mad Mare Studio's Medium-Duty Robot Gripper

thingiverse

The original files were from Mad Mare Studio's Medium-Duty Robot Gripper (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:51403), which was printed with 0.4mm layers using a Makerbot Replicator 2x and black ABS material at 117°C build plate temperature and 230° extruder temp. I made modifications to the drive gears, enabling the integration of standard servo arms that could be screwed tightly onto the servos (file available). Two standard-sized servos (http://www.pololu.com/product/1056) were used, and two pressure sensors (http://www.pololu.com/product/1645) were mounted and wired to the Pololu Maestro Servo Controller (http://www.pololu.com/product/1350). A variable resistor was also added for adjusting servo positions or pressure limits, with all signals processed on the servo controller itself.
