About this 3D model
This a variant of the Robohand / Mech-en Hand designs that I've been working on for my daughter who was born with a moderate case of symbrachydactyly in her left hand that left her with only a functional and normal thumb The aim of this design is to create a tendon driven mechanical hand that allows the use of her thumb The design goals for this have been the following: - Fingers with 2 joints - Fingers offset with respect to one another (not all parallel) - No elastics in the design, push-pull actuation - Scalable and printable to a very small size along with hardware that allows for this - Complete freedom of movement of the wrist - deviation as well as flexion and extension - Adaptive grip, allowing the fingers to adapt to the shape of the object in the hand - Printable on a typical FDM printer without the need for support structures Its still a work in progress, and the design has come along this far thanks to the amazing internet community called E-Nable.
