The end is near….
Of the hand design I mean. This session was basically fixing everything, I had concerns about from the printed prototypes of the hand’s knuckles. I made added better tolerances, and designed a neat palm to fit around th finger modules. The finished hand is around 30cm fingertip to wrist, so definitely on the “larger side”. But, that’s all right, because the design seems pretty robust. Also, I noticed that the hand resembled Edward’s from Full Metal Alchemist, so I wanted to add a reference to that somewhere, however it came off kind of weird, and I’m not trying to catch any larp allegations. Towards the end of this session i tried printing the hand parts to put together, but somehow for the fisrt time ever, my fricking printer’s nozzle clogged, so now I wait another 2 days while a replacement arrives >:(.
Until that time, I’m going to refine this design further, so I never have to touch the design aspect again (until the wrist of course). As for the wrist, I am lowkey scared that, this hand may require too much torque to make a reliable wrist for, given its size, but I’ll probably just suck it up, and stepper motors should work. Anyways, that’s all for now folks…
