Instructions
The Prosthetic Hand Kit beefs up existing prosthetic hand designs to make them durable when printed in plastic. This kit provides designs for left or right straight hook prosthetic, wrist unit and laminating fabrication cap. This kit can be used to make a fully functional below elbow prosthesis to be used with a few items from a local hardware store.
The 4 parts to be printed are: hand, thumb, wrist unit, and fabrication cap. Each printed part is separated into individual files for printing. Print each part and assemble with one 1/4 inch wide nut and bolt, two 1/8 inch wide nut and bolt, parachute cord or the like, webbing and rubber bands of any size . The wrist is designed to be used with a vacuum form plastic socket (not printable) which the fabrication cap is needed for. Once you have the socket and hand assembled you can use the shoulder harnessing of your choice and use your prosthetic.
