never started

YOU THOUGHT IT WAS DEAD but i just confirmed with a very nice woman in my cafeteria that she is interested in a hand so this project is revived

Is she a pirate

that joke doesn't work pirates have hooks bro unless oaky is making a detachable arm hook in which case thats fucking awesome

also gl oaky

i have just confirmed nylon is super strong

i have printed the hand and am now working on the joints

i have just successfully experimented with printing living nylon hinges instead of using silicone rubber and tomorrow i will find out which works better (the problem with the nylon is that it has ZERO friction so the joints dont stick together tightly enough and it also isnt as elastic as silicone)

Dix pix

pictures will come at a special time

remodeling all of these joints in fusion to see which one works better
