This is a project I have been working on for around a year and a half now, and this is close to the final product. However, before it is completely done I will need to touch up on the code and find an amputee to test it out on. The overall price is a little under $100, it uses 2 servos (1 for the thumb and 1 for the other 4 fingers) and is controlled by a Myoware muscle sensor. I used some more powerful servos for added strength, but standard servos can also be used. The materials are: Servo http://www.banggood.com/JX-PDI-6221MG-20KG-Large-Torque-Digital-Coreless-Servo-For-RC-Model-p-973947.html Battery https://www.pololu.com/product/2224 Flexible Nylon Paracord to pull finger back http://www.paracordplanet.com/black-1-8-shock-cord/?gclid=CjwKEAjwoPG8BRCSi5uu6d6N5WcSJABHzD8F0L0fHDhTdqwNNAAP0UubP1OmgCBMNTkpOyXJ0xuBoC05Tw_wcB Arduino Nano http://www.banggood.com/NANO-IO-Shield-Expansion-Board-Nano-V3-Improved-Version-With-Cable-For-Arduino-p-1010993.html Rubber Sheet http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEOPRENE-RUBBER-SHEET-1-32-THK-X-36-x12-WIDE-60-DURO-5-/252444357962?hash=item3ac6db354a:m:mfM4gXGbn2nDErOINfWRrrQ Fishing wire anywhere I will try to post soon a video on how to assemble the arm, it is fairly simple so I'm sure most people could figure it out, however, there are some tips to putting it together that can make the arm work a bit better and easier to put together.I strongly support any improvements or modifications to the arm, if you have any I would love to have a look! You can E-mail me at [email protected] also if you have any questions you can ask me at the same E-mail. Hope you like the project!

I got a free CAD program around 4 years ago because it seemed interesting to me, a year later I bought a 3D printer from money I'd saved up- from then on I was hooked. I became very proficient in CAD work and I estimate I have close to around 2000 hours of experience with printers and designing. Shortly after I got my 3D printer I began work on a 3D printed robot after being inspired by other 3D printed robots like the Inmoov designed by Gael Langevin. After countless failures, all-nighters, and dead ends, I've refined my robot to be incredibly simple, practical, and inexpensive. My robot (PROTO1) is by far the greatest accomplishment and if you are at all interested in robotics and 3D printing check out my publications and you can build one. If you have any questions or want to contact me about custom 3D modeling or printing you can email me at [email protected] Happy printing!
