Robotic Claw

thingiverse

A versatile claw, primed for printing. This is an outdated claw design, initially developed for First Competition robotics. I've since created a more advanced model, but it will remain unpublished until the competitive season concludes. You're not obligated to use printed pins to secure each finger; bolts or stock aluminum/steel can provide superior support. Utilize the donuts on top to attach strings, and the cylinders on the back of the fingers to guide them. Attach the strings to a motor for control. The internal donuts on the fingers connect to the base plate via spring or rubber band, functioning as an automatic retention system. 30-60% infil is recommended for optimal results. Attach all four strings (one per finger) to a motor mount of your choice to automate the opening and closing of the claw. Modify as needed to suit your project's requirements.
