Something that kind of just popped up recently was this new kind of plating system that adds a really strong alloy onto printed parts and basically make them as strong as common metals but at a huge weight reduction. I’ve only really seen it used by Hacksmith but if that can be integrated into prosthetics to make fragile mechanical parts more durable, imagine the future capabilities.
Thank you so much for your insight, currently studying to become a biomech engineer and its very valuable for me. Sorry that the struggle is still to this extent at this point in time, please keep up the good work
I hope in the future technology advances so that you can have tools at your house to create and repair your own limbs, like a super 3d printer customized for this kind of thing. Good videos!
What kind of metals were the parts that broke on the havok arm? I used to build custom knives and swords before I became disabled. 20 year career as a welder and was the usual go to for the weird fix or tool needed because of my skills and creative solutions. I might be able to help in the future (building a workspace currently). I might be able to recreate the pieces out of some tougher materials. Worst case... I can't. Might be able to, so why not try.
@@tejanospacecowboy If you have time could you take some measurements of the pieces and a view of all sides of the parts if your able to. I don't know what level your education in metals is, so I'll start with if you can scratch the parts with a fork It's probably aluminum. Aluminum does not hold up to impact for long because it's an alloy that doesn't stretch much. I preferred to use spring steel for most of my builds. It's forgiving when it hasn't been hardened, or it can cut other metals when heat treated properly.
Hey cool stuff! Have you studied electrical or mechanical engineering btw? Just some ideas for the nerve grafting stuff, You might want to look into replaceable female plugs where you can attach nerve connections to--simplifying the engineering process. There's also the body rejecting implants, I know there is some coats that people are researching for it but not completely sure about it much more than that. Using smaller gauge wires to reduce the amount of resistance between the nerves to use as a signal would make the feedback from "thinking" of moving your hands faster. I think we're actually wayyyy closer to this as a possibility if it isn't already now, I don't think this needs a brain interface thing like neural link. If i went about doing it I would put a small processor or micro controller as close as possible to the female plug to make that already very small gauge wire have a short distance to the computer itself to make that feedback "snappier." Having the female plugs being their own thing also helps with replacing for muscle atrophy to make better fits.
Fascinating stuff man, it's going to be great to see this just further progress for you. Are you on twitter by chance? Our community would welcome you.
Hey Man can you imbed some really high powered magnet into the hand to help you retain magazines? And possibly imbed some steel in the pistol grip of your Ar hand grip.
I'm having a hard time moving around, and I'm not comfortable. I'm from the Philippines and an above-left-elbow amputee. I was given a Bebionic arm from Ottobock, and I hope you can help me. Thank you, sir.
It’s wild how people can make something so intricate and complicated and overlook some of the most basic requirements of functionality.

fascinating, where did you see this? I'm working on prosthetics myself and would like to try this :D

Crazy they don't make these water proof/water resistant these *expensive and complex* electronic devices like these is mind boggling.

I have the parts still I’ll show you in a video and you lmk if you can tell what kinda metal it was
