Description

Phoenix v2 Hand This is a wrist-powered device. To use this design, the user must have a functional wrist and enough palm to push against the device to force the fingers closed when the wrist is bent. This is a remix of the original e-NABLE Phoenix hand by Jason Bryant with replacement components by John Diamond, Scott Darrow, and Andreas Bastian. The changes from the original are as follows: Gauntlet – Original fully 3D printed version replaced with a thermoformed equivalent (lighter, stronger, uses less filament, quicker to print, and can be adjusted to better fit the forearm) Gripper box components – Whippletree doesn’t require tying to the swivel pin using string. The printing support from the swivel pin should be cut/snipped/filed off before assembly. The thumb tensioner pin is shorter, so it doesn’t need to protrude from the front of the gripper box. Thermoformable palm mesh – An easier-to-assemble alternative to using Velcro in the palm. It can be thermoformed and adjusted to fit the recipient. Two alternative versions, thin/thick, are provided. Palm with supports – The support structure uses less filament than the original and can be easily, safely, and cleanly removed by hand, usually without tools. Demo bar – Used instead of the palm mesh if the hand is to be used for demonstration purposes. It allows a person with a full set of fingers and thumb to wear the hand and operate it. Wrist pin – This pin has been shortened to allow it to be used with the thermoformed gauntlet.
