  • In this video I talk about my prototypes for all the components which make up the palm in my bionic hand - the CMC joints for the thumb, 4th and 5th metacarpal hinge, and the motors which control the MCP joints.

    3d printing engineer here. You can get away with a lot more than you currently think when it comes to resin printing, you have a bunch more variables to tweak: try different resins and try UV-curing them to different levels of brittleness. Also you can print 90 degree overhangs, just sayin' in case it is not intuitive after experience with FDM. Aaaaaand, if you snip off support structures before UV-curing the whole thing, it will look a lot cleaner and would need way less attention to random pointy things sticking out of the model :)

    Look for a tool named "Photon File Validator" It will analyze the output of the Photon printer and tell you if the automatic supports are doing a good job, or if there are any unsupported islands. That way you can go back to Chitubox to the specific layer that might be unsupported, and fix the issue before you give your 3D printer the file.

    The first-degree of freedom in the thumb merely draws it toward the ring finger. And there's a much lower point of attachment on the wrist. The second degree of freedom is actually a 45° angle so just turn the direction of the thumb at the joint and you'll have it. There's no need to break the thumb.

    For a more compact gear reduction, you could look into

    - strain wave gears
    These might just reduce the size quite significantly if you can find a way to utilize it

    You could always build up a fence around the thin walled areas. As an example, look at an AR-15 lower receiver, its made of aluminum and it can be pretty thin in areas. There is a threaded ring on the rear of the lower reciever for the buffer tube (basically the stock in Lamen's terms) and it has buult up areas around it so it doesnt crack in that thin area. Good luck on the wrist btw, please dont give up and take the easy way out lol.

    You want to have a little space in the guide tubes and the cable lines or else it would create too much friction which would be bad for both the line and the tube, also a bit of space allows you to put a drop of silicone lubrication on the cable line which allows the servo to work at peak proficiency.

  • @dekutree64
    @dekutree64 Před 3 lety

    That thumb video edit was creepy :) I think you can get it pretty accurate with two servos. The first bone of the thumb seems to trace out a cone shape. One axis to rotate around the cone, and one to move in the cone's radial direction, controlling how flat/pointy the cone is. Then the other two thumb bones have a single hinge joint that also rotates in the cone radial direction.
    What are those super flat potentiometers you're using? Those might save me some suffering.

    I havent watched all of the video yet but i had an idea that you can keep in the back of you pockets in case you need for for space saving in the forearm. What if you use the sleeving for cabling as the cable themselves for simple broad movement? Although at the rate that your designs and prototyping are improving, my idea is simple childs play.

    Another great video.
    I wonder if you could just mount the thumb with a torsion spring on a small axel? This could give you a sort of passive degree of movement.
    Also, check out 3dprintingpro here on CZcams! The videos are really short and packed with resin printing advice. One quick tip is that you want to minimize printing area per layer, so angling parts can be detrimental sometimes.

  • @dansv1

    Holy molly. You did not check the tolerances between the gears. You checked the clearances. The words have completely different meaning.

    Re this website: www.epi-eng.com/mechanical_engineering_basics/clearance_and_tolerance.htm
    “Stated simply, CLEARANCE is the distance between the adjacent surfaces of mating parts (how much the mating parts CLEAR each other), while TOLERANCE is the allowable variation of a dimension from its nominal (desired) value ( the amount of error one will TOLERATE ).”

  • @onidaaitsubasa4177
    @onidaaitsubasa4177 Před 3 lety

    Theoretically the 4th and 5th gearbox in the palm is not needed as that type of movement is highly determined by the movement of the cables going to the 4th and 5th fingers and limited by elastic bands or springs that could connect and bind the metacarpals together, at least that is how the human hand functions, also that type of movement is different according to muscle structure and possibly ligament structure between different people, especially between men and women, if you follow the movement of only your hand of those metacarpals then you won't be able to accurately approximate the movement of the female hand in case it is ever needed in the future. It would be good to ask several people male and female so that you can observe them doing several tasks with their hands such as grasping, holding, and picking up things with only the index finger and the thumb, record video of the movements and it will reveal a lot about the movements of the 4th and 5th metacarpals.

    I think you should start looking into a setup for cutting brass gears in the near future, at the very least by the point where you'll have a version 2.0 of the fully assembled hand, so you can implement miniaturization and optimization once the major setup is complete. Relying on existing componentry is a mistake, in this kind of application. For something as small as this, you'll have no problems if you make your own cutting machine. You need a rotational axis, an in and out for the cutting motor and the motor itself, which again, at this scale, you could probably get away with a small proxxon mini drill.
    If gear cutting seems daunting, i recommend you go watch a few primer videos from Clickspring (the guy building the antikythera machine replica), Tom Lipton (an all round walking encyclopedia of machine operations), and Keith Rucker, of Vintage Machinery (dot) org fame. These three have all the required information, in understanding gears and gear cutting on the go.

    You may be able to get the range of movement of the human hand in a small enough package. But I think you are basing your design around the wrong technology... Servo motors will never get small enough while having comparable strength and speed to human muscle. It just not going to happen. Go with pneumatic or hydraulics, those two are your only bet to get anywhere close to the performance of a human hand.
