Helboy arm - First test
I finally have a working prototype.
This has been a ton of work — constant testing, re-printing, adjusting, and refining. I’ve basically been at it 24/7 pushing to get everything just right. Seeing it come together like this makes all of it worth it.
Buuuut there are still a few final tweaks and improvements I want to make to simplify the usability and make everything feel easier to use. Once those are done, it’ll be ready for release. I thank you all for your patience this is a huuuge project, but i can see a finish line finally :D

Has this model been released yet?
It was released in april this year :)
Great job
Do you think you can use the base design and utilize it in a Mon Calamari hand?
unfortunatelly no, that would not be possible
Love it!!
I am so excited for this. Thank you.
Can't wait for this!!
Love this !!!!
thank you so much Michael :)
This is why I have been a member for years. You always test it out and tweak when needed. Then give it to your members knowing it will work and we will be more than just satisfied. You are a legend. Awesome work!
very kind of you , thank you :) i have been working on this for so long, it has to be good, cant stop now :D haha
Amazing! I cant wait to print this one!!!
very soon i hope :Dits just so much more work than i anticipated at first XD
How strong is the grip? Can you pick up objects?
i have noticed it depends allot on the material, with smooth PLA - empty bottles, cans and such you can, but if i print the fingertips in tpu or add some material that will generate more friction i think you can even pick larger things up, - keep in mind you are not picking them up with finger closing strength, you just need a good material to generate enough friction so the item you are picking up is not sliding out of your "hand" . but i will play more with this, ofcourse there will be limits :)
Can't wait.👍
you da man!
thank you bud :)
I can see making it in Tpu to cut down clanking and weight. But amazing work
that oooor i have notice if we add some other material to fingertips the fricdtion will also allow to grip lots of objects and stuff :D
This looks AMAZING!!!!! thank you for all the hard work and thank you for not being satisfied with just a working model and that you want it to take it as far as you can yo make it the best it can be
my pleaseure :) i've been on this one for so long, it just has to be done right, can't stop now so close to the finish :D
This is awesome
thank you :D
It's coming together so well. Keep up the good work!
not much more to go :D but yeah it was definatelly waaaaaay more work than i anticipated :D
Awesome!
That is awesome
you are planning on punishimg my printer arent you?
thats the plan :D haha
amazing! i wonder if there will be a base skeleton for these finger mechanics for other "big hand" projects.
The mechsnism is tailored to this specific project , my main goal was to just finally get this one all done and ready :D haha
