Bistable Compliant Robot Gripper

Hi,

this is a prototype of a bistable compliant robot gripper.

Each side can be actuated individually by sliding the actuator in the centre. 

It is still in an early stage and will change in future versions.

Its dimensions are approx:

42 x 42 x 3 mm

Please note: It can be brittle depending on your print settings and material used. I recommend to actuate it once (very carefully) after printing while the fidget toy is still warm. 

How do you print it?

It consists of only one part and can easily be printed in around 1 hour with no supports. I recommend a 0.12 mm layer height, a 20% gyroid infill and PLA. 

I hope you like it. If it does not work for you please leave a comment or shoot me a message instead of just posting a 1 star review, I'm sure there is no problem that can't be solved.
