Schematics for my 3D printed force sensor in robotic/prosthetic finger…
Got inspiration from all the different #3Dprinted prosthetic hands and was thinking my #conductive #TPU #rubberlike filament could add a dimension or two… This #dualstrusion will create the finished finger with joints and a force sensitive fingertip. The fingertip has a outer shell that, when pressed, will connect to the inner conductive surface, thus creating a closed circuit. check it out here: Robohand Finger-sensor by Palmiga - Thingiverse
This model is only a quick proof of principle design… and the picture of a full 3D printed hand on @Thingiverse is only a visualization of a hand that could be printed in one go… perhaps!? Are you up for the challenge?
The smudging of the conductive material resulted in a closed loop at aprox 8.5k and when pressing the tip it goes down to 7.2k
Its my first #dualstrusion, I used 0.7mm nozzles and I could for sure need to adjust the height of the nozzles and it would be great to have retractable nozzles to get rid of the smudging… 3D Printed Robohand Finger-sensor - YouTube
