[@adisharr]

No one that would be in the market for a gripper like this and could contribute in a meaningful way to the financial stability of Festo would use this as a solution. No to say it's clever and not well made but this is not a production product. Also if you're handling food good luck getting all the necessary approvals.

[@christianhilditch9333]

Cnc operators everywhere could use a version of this with a ball stud interface and either an internal piston with spring return actuated by air. Even a hobbyist version with a simple yoke or threaded nipple to fit common air cylinders. Great work! This inspires me to get off my ass and learn cad/solid works and get a damn printer... I really want machine tools first.

I'm not really up on 3d printing, but I am impressed by it. I can't believe that entire silver piece with the screw and all was one single print. I would have thought it would be several prints that you them put together. I was unaware that you could print something in one print that was already functional and had moving parts. That's amazing.

[@yongling9825]

3D-printing is useful for printing out plastic parts that aren't sold by the manufacturer. For example, the lid-release button of a spring-loaded bottle lid.

[@avidcrafting]

You can print stuff a lot more puzzling than this that moves. This is a really simple example compared to most. You can make a rubix cube, for example, fully functional. Although it wouldn't work nearly as well as a machined one.

[@element_47]

@@avidcrafting you could print a Rubik's cube in a single print!? 🤯 That's nuts. I've seen a lot of KZbinrs I watch the past few years print a lot of things, parts to build things, specialized parts for inventions, that sort of thing, but I had no idea how deep the well ran.

[@itsrobloxgamer]

He finally made the claw from spider man

[@kwk9415]

I guess there is a slippery reason why you did not show the pickup ^^ Thats why companies who are already producing this have added textures to the inside of the claw and made it out of metal so it can withstand more torq and put more pressure on the object tje claw is supposed to hold.

[@Sihgilanu]

i imagine the orange was a little too large for the grabbers to actually hold onto, the tangent line at the point of contact was still closer to the main portion of the design than it was to the other side of the orange. if they put grip tape on the inside of the claws, it probably could've handled the orange easily. unmodified, something a little smaller like a lime would've been about the right size. the only real problems i see with the design is there's not any grip at the tips, it has to be in roughly the center of the claws to be grabbed; and deflection over repeated use, which would depend on the material

[@anchonicho100]

The claw is supposed to form to the shape of what it grabs its not a "slippery reason" it literally is made to encapsulate the object. Even if it was a problem just adding some form of grip tape to the inside of it would immidately solve it but that doesnt matter when the object is much smaller that it successfully encapsulates it

[@CazzyVR]

​@@anchonicho100 You didn't study in school or understand how shit actually works. This is PLASTIC! There's a reason noachinery is made of plastic

This would have been printed from TPU which is actually really grippy, you can use it to print tires. The orange is just too big for the size he printed.

[@pwabd2784]

He never shows the orange being lifted by the gripper. It's always shown in a way that the gripper isn't actually suspending the orange.

[@PupGaming]

Bro just casually invented something that could be a multimillion dollar product 🤣

[@megabimz2731]

put a varied inward lattice on the compliant arms of the gripper, and run either a thread or wire through each prong at tension, it'll allow for the prong to pull at the tip, giving it more tensile grabbing capability.
