Flexy-Hand 2 - Filaflex Remix

My most advanced Flexy-Hand to date.

This was designed for Jack via e-NABLE. The result of a collaboration between myself and Jeff Erenstone, Prosthetist and CPO of Performance Orthopedic Design.

Optimised to be printed with flexible filaments. This version was printed with Skin I Filaflex, Skin II also available.

Key Features :

• Thermoformed Gauntlet, dual material, lower layers PLA, upper layers Filaflex, great strength.
• Palm socket integral to hand. Can also be filled with mouldable medium, eg, Oogoo, Sugru, Silicone, Latex or foam etc.
• Each finger and thumb printed in one piece. Using CraftWare customisable supports.
• Silent articulation.
• Recipient's scanned limb printed with internal "bone" and wrist articulation. Using variable density "Modifier Meshes" in Slic3r.
