Hi... During my experiments to transform everyday hardware in robot pieces, I came up with the need to build a very simple hand... Something. After trying a few desings, I created these very afordable ones, tha I would like to share with you...
Later I'll post a simple how to... Tevans
really cool! Very wicked
I'll add Tutorial status to this post once it contains some tutorial information
Sweet design
The clear three finger is exactly what I would like to use. When you get a chance could you post some more pictures and info. Thank you
Hi... while I'm putting together a video, here some pics of where I started from...
first some draft just to get into idea..
then I used a vector design software (idraw, corel draw, etc) to draw some parts, print on a piece of paper, and use it as mold to cut on balsawood... just to feel it in 3d.
once I decided witch parts would work better, I had it cut from a sheet of 2mm acrilic
some superglue.. spray paint, a microservo (and other for the wrist) and.. that's it. My U$15,00 hand...
Then.. I used the same method for the three fingers... except that I cut myself the first prototype (cause it's easy to cut 2mm acrylic).
and finally I came up with this design... I sent that to be laser cut (the fingers in 10mm and the other parts in 2mm)
here the laser cut parts. U$10 for four sets...
the trick to bend some parts ? just use a little torch like this one and the corner of your table...
I'll try to show that on the video, later, ok ?
here is the pdf files of the parts.. use it as wish. I just would like to know if those were useful..

Really nice job. Inspiring.
