Ski Pole Holder

thingiverse

This is an attachment for a prosthetic hand that allows the user to grip a ski pole securely. The outer casing hinges open to wrap around the handle, then tightens with a velcro strap or string. Inside, a rubbery material is printed to provide the necessary grip on the handle of the ski pole, which simply needs to be glued into place. This innovative project was created in an SPU Engineering class that teaches students about 3D printers and their practical applications. As a side note, the images above do not show the rubber interior because I didn't have any of this material available. Also, using a typical wire hanger as the hinge pin works perfectly and is incredibly strong.
