3d Printed Mechanical Hand


I made this hand from photos of a wooden one that was laser cut
Making the Hand
First designed the hand in pieces on solid edge
Assembling on Cad
Once I had designed the pieces i assembled them on solid edge.
Printing
Now I exported the pieces to makerbot and printed on a makerbot replicator.
Laser Cutter
Now I drew and laser cut over 100 plastic rings to act as bearings.
Assembling
I now assembled the pieces using wooden dowls (8mm) and threaded the pieces and plastic bearings. After a lot of tweaking I was done.
