This multipurpose hand prosthetic is designed for people without fingers so that they could perform some basic activities. While there are plenty of such projects online, they are mostly either too simple or are too expensive and too complex for cheap mass production. As an Indian, I have designed this especially for people living in poor countries where this prosthetic can be distributed very cost effectively by health agencies.
The arm clamp is detachable so that you can make your custom clamp according to your comfort and needs.
Note: The model I printed came out quite bad because of my broken printer. I have made quite a lot of design changes. However, I haven't had the time to test those changes. So it would be amazing if anyone could print this and give me some feedback in the comments.
With this, people without fingers should be able to:
Use Pens and Pencils
Use Cutlery
Use Toothbrush
Added features:
Hold cups
Hold bags
Use touchscreens
Use 4mm Hex tool bits and interchangeable screwdriver sets
I got the inspiration after stumbling different assistive devices on Thinigiverse .
I am also uploading a version without the cup holder.
