About this model
A proof of concept printable hand with "live hinge" flexible joints. Individually activated fingers using Filaflex filament (or nylon fishing wire) as tendons. Printed in PLA and with Filaflex hinges. Re-mix this idea (STEP-file of body included) into your own robotic or prosthetic project. Fingers open automatically, no return tendons or springs needed. "Frictionless" articulation - no rubbing parts. Stretchable tendons offering adaptive grip on irregular objects (only one motor required to activate all fingers). Fully printable solution, no vitamins required. Tough and rugged. Realistic form under a surgical glove. Here is an article about the Flexy-Hand on 3DPrint.com. And a video + video review (Thanks to 3DUniverse.org and jesimon). The 1st printed Flexy-Hand is now on display…
