I have redesigned the Kwawu arm to be more natural looking and more functional. The terminal device has a much higher grip strength and functionality. Very good at picking up small things with index finger and thumb and big things with whole hand.

This version is similar to the original thermoform Kwawu arm. It is suitable for a recipient with a long residual forearm.
There are two other versions on thingiverse. A Socket Version for people with short forearm residuals https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2841281, and a terminal only version https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2774477 for people with a standard forearm socket already.

Updates
Update - December 8, 2018
This update adds several new features and fixes.
• Made the latch mechanism slightly larger and rotate the hinge on the latch pin to make the hinge larger. The hinge is now the same size as finger hinges. So has better performance and easier to assemble.
• Made velcro slots on cuff thinner so the cuff can thermoform rounder.
• Add pencil holder option for the hand (Idea borrowed from dean rock's arm).
Update - August 22, 2018
This update fixes an issue with threads being backwards on some Right handed renderings. If you are making a right hand, please download the updated SCAD file.
