Flexy-Hand

A proof of concept printable hand with "live hinge" flexible joints. Individually activated fingers using [Filaflex](http://recreus.com/) filament as tendons.
Printed in [Makerbot Translucent Red](http://store.makerbot.com/translucent-red-pla) and [Filaflex](http://recreus.com/) hinges.
Re-mix this idea into your own robotic or prosthetic project.

- Fingers open automatically, no return tendons or springs needed.
- "Frictionless" articulation - no rubbing parts.
- Stretchable tendons offering adaptive grip on irregular objects (only one motor required to activate all fingers).
- Fully printable solution, no vitamins required.
- Tough and rugged.
- Realistic form under a surgical glove (see images).
