Pincer/Gripper for TinkerKit Braccio Robot Arm

thingiverse

This includes a model of the default pincer/gripper for the [Tinkerkit Braccio Robot Arm](https://store.arduino.cc/tinkerkit-braccio-robot) and an additional customised version I made of the gripper for wider loads. The Braccio arm is pretty cool, but I wanted to customise it for a project I was doing. I started out by taking the existing pincer, and making a 3D version of it in Blender using photos and measurements of it for reference. Once I confirmed I could print it out and it would work with the arm, I made an extra wide version of the pincer so I could lift blocks (though I hot glued some sponge to it for better grip as can be seen in the photos). I'm sharing this here so that if anyone else wants to create their own customised version of the Braccio pincer for their own project, they can just work off of my model rather than modelling from scratch like I did.
