There are totally 9 Components to be printed in the 3D printer. I have listed them down below one by one,

1. E5P1

2. Fingerdesign_ALL

3. Forearm9-1

4. Forarm_9-2

5. Forarm_9-3

6. Hand5

7. Hand5Thumb3

8. Servo_Hold

9. ServoHorn

The .stl files of the concerned parts are listed down below. So download and print your own prosthetic hand.

After 3D printing all the parts, assemble them as shown in the image attached below in the description.

Use M2 screws and nuts to tighten the and fix the components together.

Servo horn that is 3D printed must be attached with the servo arm to attach it with the servo motor to pull the fingers down. (P.S. The tension between fingers and servo must be in a proper manner).

Use the Cotton threads to attach all the fingers portions together.

Only one micro servo needed for the thumb finger movement and all other servo motors are same.

Using metal and plastic geared servos together may result in malfunctioning or sometimes board might get heated up or it won't work properly so be aware of that and don't mix plastic and metal gears together.

Connection between the servo motors with the Arduino UNO and Gait Sheild

Servo 1 ----> B1 to Gait Shield ---> Index Finger

Servo 2 ----> B2 to Gait Shield ---> Middle Finger

Servo 3 ----> B3 to Gait Shield ---> Pinky and Next middle finger

Servo 4 ----> B4 to Gait Shield ---> Thumb finger

Servo 5 ----> L1 to Gait Shield ---> Thumb Rotation (Small Servo)

Servo 6 ----> L2 to Gait Shield ---> Elbow Rotation
