Anyone want a hand?

To give you a sense of scale… the tip of the finger is 6mm long and 3mm thick.
Mechanical Print Tolerance is 0.1 to 0.05mm.

Unfortunately i have had to remove the smile actuators due to the print fusing ! :angry:

Really hope you contact us via the RobotShop accelerator program - makes for a really cool product which I’m sure others would love to play with.

SHOW ME THE MONEY. :laughing:

ok the nano finger. it measures about 30mm from tip of finger to the end.

but unfortunately i over looked adding mechanical stop ends to the joints to hold it all together and so i came in parts and i had to assemble it just to take a photo…
as the parts are loose this assembly wont work but i have redesigned the joints and hopefully when i order it it will be ok.

Mechanical tolerance of 0.1 - 0.05mm

Now that’s micro printing… .!

Nano Robotic Hands…


Good stuff. Make a little chucky baby next? I always thought making things like this was scary. You do a very good job at making the skin and face look real.

Hay thanks. alot of what you see here are all tests to see how well things work…

here are some eyelid test sculpts:

since this i have mad a small plaster mould of the lids and then a Platsil Gel 00 cast to see how well they work.
this test has confirmed that its best to sculpt the eyes half open as it will stop the lids from bunching up when the eyes are open and should stretch nicely over the lids when closed.

More to follow…

That’s a pretty good rack of teeth for a baby!

I like the hands! I’d like to try them in aluminum.

Alan KM6VV

Thats just the Jaw mech underneath the skin. lol
But yes it does look quite funny. lol

i could scale the hands up and get them printed in Alumide for you?? lol

Waiting to get completely creeped-out by how realistic this baby will look when finished.

Alumide?

I haven’t worked with that. I was thinking of machining the parts out of aluminum, although they look quite complex.

Alan KM6VV

Haha. Cool.

Alumide is Nylon Plastic filled with Aluminium dust. This material is great for jewellery or anything that needs a futuristic look. It gives your model a matte metallic-like finish without having to pay the price of the Stainless Steel and Silver material. The Aluminium in this material makes the end result more brittle than our Strong & Flexible material i usually print with. so maybe not a good choice for printing really.

Yeah, I’m not ready to try it yet I guess. Thanks for the offer, 'tho.

How “machinable” is your design? Did you develop with SolidWorks? I’ve now got a seat for SolidWorks, and if I get time, will try to learn a few things on it.

Best regards,

Alan KM6VV

The actual form of the parts may be machinable, but not at its currect size.
I will tell you that its size has also defeated 3d printing. As much as it worked, then broke a few mins later. Lol

I will rethink whether to have tiny actuated hands or just concentrate on other areas.

I wouldn’t be after tiny hands, more like adult hands.

Alan KM6VV

that would require a redesign but if you wanted larger human type hands for printing there are already ones you can download and print. it you wanted machined hands then talking to DiaLFonZo might be a good step. he is very good with cnc.

Just idle thinking at this point. I’ve got some other 'bots to build.

Story of our lives. lol :smiley:
