Hi,this is a prototype of a vacuum robot gripper that creates its own vaccum using the venturi effect. It weighs around 6 g and can lift things up to 1.5 g (I just blew into the air intake) EDIT: @DickF tested it and was able to lift 11.4 g at 6 bar. It also has a bracket so that you can mount it on your robot arm.It is still in an early stage and might change a lot in future versions. Its dimensions are approx:50 x 40 x 20 mmAir intake diameter: 5.5 mmConnections on bracket: 2 x Ø 5.5 mm; 30 mm apart How do you print it?It consists of only one part and can be printed in around 2 hours with supports. I recommend a 0.12 mm layer height, a 20% gyroid infill, inner walls width of 1 mm, tree supports and PLA. How do you use it?The gripper has 3 openings: Air intake (marked with “IN”)Air outlet (marked with “OUT”)Vaccum opening (not marked - please let me know if you know a better word for it)If you blow air into the air intake it will leave the gripper at the air outlet. This creates a vac

Frequently Asked Questions
Which 3D printer is suitable for Compressed Air Vaccum Gripper (Prototype)?
Any FDM printer should handle Compressed Air Vaccum Gripper (Prototype) just fine. It's been printed on machines like Bambu Lab A1 Mini, Prusa Mini+, Creality Ender 3, most FDM printers. A minimum build volume of 50 mm is recommended.
Does Compressed Air Vaccum Gripper (Prototype) need supports when printing?
Yes, Compressed Air Vaccum Gripper (Prototype) will probably need supports for the overhangs. Tree supports work well here and are easier to remove than regular ones.
How long does it take to print Compressed Air Vaccum Gripper (Prototype)?
According to the design notes, Compressed Air Vaccum Gripper (Prototype) takes approximately 2 hours to print at standard settings (0.2 mm layer height, 15% infill). Actual print time varies based on your printer speed, layer height, and infill density.
Is Compressed Air Vaccum Gripper (Prototype) beginner-friendly?
Compressed Air Vaccum Gripper (Prototype) is a mid-level print. A bit of experience helps, but it's nothing a careful beginner can't tackle with standard slicer settings.
What file format is Compressed Air Vaccum Gripper (Prototype) available in?
Compressed Air Vaccum Gripper (Prototype) is available in STL format. These files can be opened and sliced using free software such as Cura, PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, or OrcaSlicer for FDM printing, or ChiTuBox and Lychee Slicer for resin printing. The download is provided through MakerWorld.
Is Compressed Air Vaccum Gripper (Prototype) free to download?
Yes, Compressed Air Vaccum Gripper (Prototype) is available as a free download through MakerWorld. Always check the license on the original platform to understand commercial use, remixing, and attribution requirements.
