E-Nable Flexy Hand 2
Posted: Thu Nov 27, 2014 9:20 pm
This is the E-Nable Flexy Hand 2. This is a test print, it isn't scaled for anyone with a limb difference, but helped me to nail down some print settings for next time (PLA! Overhangs! Print temps! Print Density! Cooling Fans!).
This particular print is in PLA, using flexible PLA for the hinges, spectra fishing line for the tendons, and a bit of sooper glew to hold it all together.

It still needs the velcro straps and some padding, but mechanically it's all complete. Flexing the wrist actuates all five fingers and the thumb.
E-Nable works to pair up adults and children with limb differences, to local 3d printers around the globe to print out customizable, extremely low cost prosthetic hands and fingers for those in need.
I'm going to offer my services for the flexi hand 2, the cyborg beast hand, and the owen replacement fingertip prosthetics.
I've already registered to donate my machine time and hopefully they'll pair me up with someone that I can help.
