E-nable - yulia custom hand 3D for print
1832 Views 2 Likes 0 Downloads Download the piece here from 3dforprint
As part of the e-Nable project I was assigned to design a custom hand for a girl in need who would not benefit from the standard e-Nable devices.
I designed the model from Scratch in Fusion360. This is the 4th and final prototype which is currently being tested by the hands name giver Yu-Lia
The design is based on the "pinch" motion which is crucial for a good hand function. Yu-Lia still had a functioning (although deformed) finger which I integrated in the design function to act as the Index finger.
In the design I used a 3D scan of her hand and modeled the hand around it. The mechanics are similar to the raptor, but do rely heavily on the movement of Yu-Lia's remaining finger which essentially pulls the 3D printed thumb.
The design comes with 3 alternative tensioner links to provide different levels of leverage in the tensioning wire.
The tensioner links and the finger tips are connected using short pieces of 3mm filament (why design a 3mm pin when you have tons in stock :D )
You will notice the fingers are purely aesthetic the hand is fully functional without them.
- 50cm Dynema (kite wire)
- 50cm Round Elastic cord of 1,5 to 2mm
- 50cm Double-sided 25mm velcro
- 20cm Filament in 3mm (this is used to con...nect the fingers and tensioner links)

* I have designed 3 versions of the 1st external link in the tensioner to allow for a larger leverage of the tension cord if required
