Modified RIT Arm Parts - Solidworks Format

thingiverse

These files are modified parts for use in making the E-nable RIT 3D printed prosthetic arm. Some are imported from the original iges files and modified in SolidWorks, and some are made from scratch. The tricep cuff was modified to address a cracking issue I had after a brief period of use by my first recipient. The forearm cup was modified to reduce weight, and allow a more generic, silicone insert friendly internal shape. The fingers were created to have a more visually compatible look than the Cyborg Beast fingers. Use of these file requires Solidworks 2013 or newer software. These parts are designed for RIT arm v 0.43, but some parts may be compatible with newer versions.
