Three-fingered hand 1/9/16

thingiverse

The updated articulating hand design overcomes earlier challenges, specifically with the 3D printer bed's size limitations. The original finger design proved impractical due to the narrower width constraint, but recent modifications allow for a more accommodating solution. This revised design introduces specialized channels to optimize tendon function, emulating human-like dexterity. Innovative Design Adjustments: * Adopted the 'index finger squared tip' design concept * Subtle tweaks ensure fingers remain aligned and flexible Operating Requirements: * Install elastic bands on the hooks for tension adjustment * Thread a cord through the loops to achieve desired flexibility * The articulated hand will function similarly to a natural hand with these modifications Printing Details: Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer Model: MakerBot Replicator 2X Print Settings: Rafts: Enabled Supports: Activated Infill Pattern: Diamond (fast) Base Plate Temperature: Elevated to 117 degrees for optimal print results.
