Flexible fingertip for prosthetics - prototype 1

By Patola

at 2024-05-03
This fingertip is based on a silicone fingertip which is used by a research group in Brazil (mao3d) for e-nable (enablingthefuture.org) prosthetic hands. I intend to contribute to the project and this is my first prototype using flexible filament (Ninjaflex) to print.Printed with 0.1mm layer height using 30mm/s speed and support in the hollow circles which was later removed.It will pass through some tests and will likely have a few iterations because it's good enough for replacing the silicone part.I have modeled it in OpenSCAD to enable others to improve on my design and also to be easily modifiable to various sizes. In the future, I will probably turn it into a custom or parametric design.Kudos to Dr. Maria Elizete Kunkel who gave me a sample on which to base and model the part.
