PLEASE NOTE: While the Raptor Reloaded has been a very popular design for the e-NABLE community, it is no longer recommended for use, other than for testing/research purposes. Testing has shown that the gripping capabilities of this design are not as good as more recent e-NABLE designs. The currently recommended e-NABLE hand designs are the Phoenix v2, Unlimbited Phoenix, or Osprey. The Raptor Reloaded is an updated release of the original that incorporates feedback from the e-NABLE community and has CAD design source files available in STEP, IGES, IPT, and F3D formats. Updates in the 12-17-14 release include: -- Improved print-ability due to custom modeled supports -- Cyborg Beast compatible sizing -- Improved dovetail geometry -- New tensioner retention clip -- Easier to use tensioner pins -- Low profile elastics with two tie-off options -- More access to elastic and flexsor routing channels -- Debossed versioning information on palm and gauntlet -- Slimmer, more anthropomorhpic fingers -- Narrower knuckle block -- More intuitive assembly (new one-way proximals) -- Thorough documentation and modular design -- Source files in native Fusion 360 format, also STEP and IGES -- Additional velcro-mounting options as well as traditional velcro loop and leather options -- Re-oriented snap-pin head recesses to improve printability -- Knuckle pins are now removable, making the hand easy to repair and upgrade -- Strengthened tie-bars on finger tips Native CAD source files available here:Full AssemblyLeft PalmRight PalmGauntletProximal PhalangeFingertipFinger Snap Pin Detailed assembly instructions available here.
