Currently working on: Integrating sensors and testing!
Assembled Final Socket:
Note: foam lining for comfort, removable via velcro for easy cleaning
Pressure Sensor Design:
Manufacturing Adjustment Bands:
Bands made from a sheet of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) by waterjet and milling machine.
Practicing Drilling Holes in Onyx Sample:
Top hole was done by melting; bottom hole done by drilling. The piece was clamped to the adapter to ensure the holes align correctly!
Test Printing Entire Socket Geometry:
Test Printing of Bottom of the Socket (PLA):
Test print to ensure the bottom of the socket fits in the adapter correctly!
Assembled Adjustment Mechanism SolidWorks Model:
Adjustment system uses a double rack mechanism. This is the model used for proof of concept and simulation purposes.
Base Socket SolidWorks Model (Isometric and Front View):
Note: the socket will be printed in its most expanded state for easier adjustment
Preliminary Design Sketch:
