The design agency WAACS design worked pro bono for us (e-NABLE the Netherlands / www.enablenederland.nl ) to design a beautiful new arm. (https://www.waacs.com/projects/e-nable-open-source-prosthetic-arm/)
The assignment was to develop a body-empowered/shoulder-controlled arm, so that in addition to our wrist- and elbow-controlled hands and arms, we can also offer a solution to people with an even shorter arm.
As a starting point, the designs of students who have previously worked on this were used, but through the work of WAACS the arm has been greatly improved in terms of appearance, comfort, functionality of the mechanisms and 3D printability.
They used the Kinetic hand of Mat Bowtell for the hand. (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4618922)
The design of the arm is not yet completely finished, but I do want to share it anyway, so that the community can benefit from their work.
There are 2 version of the design; a version where you can rotate the forearm to be able to
