IMPORTANT NOTE
This is an assembly materials kit - 3D PRINTED PARTS NOT INCLUDED
Want to make a 3D printed mechanical hand?
This kit is a great option for anyone with a 3D printer, looking to produce the Cyborg Beast hand developed by the e-NABLE community. The models are freely available to download and print, but you will need additional assembly materials to put it together. If you have a 3D printer (or access to one) and can 3D print the parts, this kit contains everything else you need.

Important Notes:
-
Each of the Chicago Screws indicated above includes both the post and the screw portion.
-
When you scale the 3D printed parts up or down, the holes for the Chicago Screws will shrink or expand also. As a result, you may need to use a power drill to expand those holes a bit in order for the Chicago Screws to fit through.
-
The gauntlet (the part that fits over the forearm) included with the current version of the Cyborg Beast design does not include slots for the velcro. You may want to consider using Frankie Flood's Cyborg Beast Gauntlet instead.
