Mad Mare Studio's Medium-Duty Robot Gripper

Description

This Is My Xdroid'S Medium-Duty Robotic Gripper, Designed For Applications Where Gripping/Holding/Lifting Something Is Needed. I Designed Them To Support Both Standard-Size Servo'S As Well As The Hitec Waterproof Servos (Slightly Larger Than Standard Size). This Gripper Is Designed With Touch-Sensitivity In-Mind, With A Specially-Designed Hand/Paddle Model Combo That Allows You To Pancake An Adafruit Industries 1.5" X 1.5" Force Sensitive Resistor Inside Safely ; Http://Www.Adafruit.Com/Products/1075 ; The Paddle Design Ensures That The Force Is Sensed Regardless Of Where The Paddles Grip An Object. :) This Model Requires Two Standard Size Servos, I Have Not Completed The Version In Which Both Paddles Are Controlled By One Servo, And A Standard-Size Servo At Regular Torque Might Have Problems Just Actuating The Gripper As It Is. I Recommend A High-Torque Metal Gear Servo For This! Servo City Sells A Great Waterproof Servo (Http://Www.Servocity.Com/Html/Hs-5646Wp_Servo.Html) And I Have A Servo-Plate That Fits Them Included. Or Any Standard-Size Servo, Like The One'S Adafruit Sells: Http://Www.Adafruit.Com/Products/1142 The Models In This Thing Are Oriented In The Direction That I Recommend You Print Them - With The Proper Face-Down. To Make A Complete Medium-Duty Gripper, You Will Need To Print Some Models Multiple Times While Other Models You Will Only Need To Print Once. The Instructions Will Detail This Out. I Am Modelling A More Sophisticated Version That Will Be Able To Grip Much Larger And Heavier Objects! Stay Tuned. :)
