This is a Compliant hand grip, I call it Gorilla Clamp!
It's a mechanism printed in a single piece.
Do you already know what a compliant mechanism is? It’s a type of flexible mechanism that uses the elasticity of materials for movement instead of the joints of classic mechanisms.They have advantages over normal mechanisms, in particular the cost being made of a single piece and no type of clutch and therefore no lubrication required. for a maker to use this type of mechanism is like opening up a whole new world of possibilities! I already have a video on the subject on YouTube if you like to know more about these mechanisms
