The file 'Flexy-Knee/Elbow 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 2.5MB.
An early concept for a prosthetic knee/elbow joint with a printable flexible hinge using the elastic properties of Filaflex from Recreus.
.
This joint has the advantages of being self straightening, tough and durable with shock absorption properties built in.
.
The socket takes the principles from the custom socket cups that I designed/printed recently which are currently undergoing tests for e-NABLE. Therefore we could have a printable or castable flexible liner that conforms to the users residual limb.
