Here’s a little project that I’ve been working on for about a year…
A friend of mine is a huge Packers fan and asked me to build her an eNable / Team UnLimbited arm. After printing the parts for two arms (one in each color), I let her pick the pieces a la Build-a-Bear. Of course this left me with a complementary set of parts, so I went ahead and built that one too.
There are a few remaining tasks – stringing the “tendons,” adding straps & padding, etc., but on Tuesday she’ll have both “home” and “away” arms!
I love it when a plan comes together!
Tech notes:
- Printed on an Ultimaker 2 using PLA+ (0.2mm layers, 50-100% infill)
- Each set of arm pieces took ~24 hours across 3 days to print
- Material cost of each device was $15 in plastic and ~$10 in fiddly bits
