Talon Hand 3.0

thingiverse

The Talon Version 3 is a wrist-powered device, requiring a wrist to operate its finger movements. It has been designed to be easier to construct and more comfortable to wear than the previous Talon Version 2, while retaining the superior grip strength and effortless actuation of its predecessor. The device's creation was made possible through collaborations with various designers like Ivan Owen of Mech Madness Designs, Richard Van As of Robohand, Michael Curry of Snap-Together Robohand, and members of the e-NABLE global community. A video showcasing its usage by the creator's son can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxmC1vYa0RM&feature=youtu.be.

A video series demonstrating the assembly process is available here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBHsuyNYSpxvS1EgMP67EszQwgE-Hqq5o. Note that there are differences in structure between Talon and Osprey, notably the requirement for a thin piece of leather for the "upper" of the Talon, whereas the dome-shaped palm of the Osprey requires foam.
