Robotic Hand - Blog #3 - Quick Update
While waiting for the Arduino to arrive I have been busy creating the hand. This was more involved then I originally anticipated. Being new to 3D printing, it was a big learning curve to draw the fingers and hand. A few trial and error runs but now I have the fingers and thumb completed. I will be printing the palm and back of the hand next, they will take 7 hours each to run.
Below are pictures of the printed fingers:

I wanted to do something different for the PCB for the instrumentation amplifier. Below is the drawing of the 3D PCB (It is printing right now). I got copper foil to attach to the board to connect the circuits, I am hoping it will turn out. It looks good so far.
The board is 125mm x 125mm, I will post photos when it is complete.
Thank you for reading
