Description

Kwawu Arm 3.0- Socket Version is a customizable 3D-printed prosthetic arm designed by Jacquin Buchanan for individuals with short forearm residual limbs. This version offers enhanced grip strength, improved functionality, and a more natural aesthetic compared to previous versions. The design is parametric and must be modified using OpenSCAD before printing. It is released under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Summary (from designer Jacquin Buchanon): This is a functional device for those with forearm limb differences. It has better functionality and easier to assemble than the 2.0 version. Instructional videos for this design can be found here. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLO2iVws0boe0Yrh_1auXd5TTmXr6_y3zT (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLO2iVws0boe0Yrh_1auXd5TTmXr6_y3zT) **DO NOT PRINT THESE STL FILES DIRECTLY.** Download all the files and use the OpenSCAD to modify and scale the STL files. The PDF file "Kwawu 3.0 Socket Version Instructional Guide" will show you how to download the Open SCAD program and use the code in these files to size this model.

The terminal device has a much higher grip strength and functionality. Very good at picking up small things with index finger and thumb and big things with whole hand. This version is the socket version intended for people with short forearm residual limbs. There is a wrap version for people with long forearm residuals I would like to thank the e-NABLE community.
