Retracting Claws

Build your own set of fully mechanical retracting claws with this simple, easy-to-print wearable design!

The model consists of just 5 printed parts: three print-in-place retracting claw mechanisms, a finger mount, and a palm mount. Each claw slides into its matching slot on the mounts and is then secured with a small amount of glue for a durable final assembly.

No screws, springs, magnets, or other hardware are required—just print the parts, glue them together, and they're ready to use.
