Where ya at dude? Super interested on any progress you may have made on this project. Hope it, and you, are doing well.
He had to take a full time job since youtube doesnt pay that good
@@emiruu2919 noooo :/
@@artiliam8104 Ya, he literally says in within the first 25 seconds
@@emiruu2919 They pay those who leave money... Philanthropy is not very well regarded by companies if said "philanthropy" does not leave a profit... I just came from an Instagram post about a prosthetic arm that is only worth 8k compared to other brands. Designed by an alleged 26-year-old girl who is said by many to be a philanthropist for the idea of her... I started a conversation with someone who had the same question as me. Why cost 8K when for sure in production cost it wouldn't even cost $300? People only know how to see the differences. What costs 8K when the competition costs 100K?... Everything shines when you see it like this. But, those same ones that sell it for 100K with better materials, only spend a fraction in production, is more a business of benefit than of aid. I see the same thing about the "26-year-old girl" who sells it at 8K when she surely uses 3D printing materials and micros like those of Arduino. But people only see philanthropy in numbers, not in acts... For me Will will always be one of the true philanthropists in this area. You invested time and effort in this project and it was not just any project. I like its mechanical approach and search for flexibility, strength and robustness more than many other models. I Know Some Engineering Being an Industrial Designer and I can say that Will rivaled the greats in quality and ingenuity, the only difference being that his purpose was really philanthropic. Without him saying it. But ask me about any of these "new geniuses of science" that you see on the internet calling themselves philanthropists when you see that it is more a profit business than a willingness to help. Nothing is for free in this world. The first ones who don't like the concept of free are companies. Where there is no profit, there is no business. That's why not all of them help selflessly to people like Will. Especially the users. Companies are free to choose who to help or not and have their objectives to survive. But UA-cam users find it more interesting to see a fool to play his favorite video game while talking shit about other players, than to give a free like to projects like this, and with that help keep them alive. Or better donate! Although Will never asked for money. He solved his needs in his own way, finding work and focusing on surviving. Another indication of his philanthropy. A true philanthropist is very stubborn in these ways. Although they accept money from others, their ways are very evident not to depend on it and not to give much hype to donations in the videos. Just let your audience flow with your decisions... Some UA-camrs do it and as far as I can see, you can see their commitment and seriousness with the issue of aid. But they are not all and it is easy to pretend, that is why I cannot assure nothing from nobody. What is sure is that when you are so stubborn not to ask and assume responsibilities on your own and abandon something like this, it says more about philanthropy than those who ask day and night and he becomes the victim of the UA-cam monetary system... True philanthropists live in the shadows, only discovered by those who seek them. Not the other way around.
Sad to hear that even a project this cool doesn't bring in enough youtube money to live on. Keep at it, even if progress is slow.
to be fair youtube algo doesnt boost content based off how interesting it is, but based off how many open mouth meme thumbnails are used and creators are heavily punished for not posting more than 2ce a day
I hope you are doing well mate!
You've done a wonderful job on your hand. Taking a break is understandable it is a huge project. When you get back on it, maybe take a look at how I managed the lateral motion of the mcp joint on my prosthetic hand. I am driving only the pinky and the others move via a reversing linkage. Good luck on your future endeavors. Hmu if you'd like to discuss design aspects of your project. I may be able to help you out on aluminum versions of some of your parts. Lmk, thanks. Ian
Hey! You are a genius and a real hero. I am lucky not to need a prosthetic, but your work matters way more than fancy-pants hip entrepreneurs that show up on media interviews with projects that never hit the market for people that need them. DIY and Open Source is the power of the people.
The two DIY prosthetic legends have met! Subbed to both of yall, great job to you both!
If you can code a robot's ROS then place my debug code on the 1st Line of code in the system then run it through like any other line of code: . . . . .. . . .. . .. Force = [F=m(2385)]; . . . .. . . . . . You can also run this on any line in the system's language. It runs the SOST properly.
Good to see you two interact.
Well, well, well. 2 geniuses at prosthetics meet, and one is a Cyborg. Xd.
Sad to see the project slow down but congrats on the job! Love what you've done!
Make freedy animationic
I miss you Will. I enjoyed your videos so much! Hope we get to see your work soon!
Been waiting for this. I recently bought a resin printer, cant wait to do this kind of stuff. Great work dude
I have zero robotics and mech engineering knowledge but watchin your videos is absolutely inspiring. It amazes me how you can imagine and build these prototypes. We wait for your return sir.
Congrats on all the progress on this amazing project!
You are seriously underrated, I feel like you should have way more recognition for what you are trying to accomplish. Wish you all the best, amazing project!
Your design is amazing, also it is invaluable to see part of your thinking process and design decision.
Thanks a lot for opensourcing.
Such a hand might be also a good starting point for DIY prosthetics.
Man this is absolutely awesome. It's great to hear that you want to do this open source. I'm working on hand gesture recognition with deep learning and emg signals and I need a great bionic hand like this to test it. This is great! I started being a patron to get access to the files and give some support for you. Thanks!
Looking great. Seems to work well. Good luck with the new job, I hope it goes well for you. Thank you for video.
Though it's taking more time now, I love the project! It's been phenomenal seeing it develop. Fantastic work!
Well presented and amazing project. Subscribed
That articulating thumb mechanism is brilliant
hi will, I've been following your news and progress for a year, still come back to check for anything new
your design is brilliant, please don't let it to end..
Take your time, but please don't stop. Your hand is amazing and inspiring!
I bloody love this project.
Wish you all the best mate, I know how sudden and drastic lifestyle changes can be. Hope things settle down.
Love seeing new videos from your channel!
I suddenly remembered this video series. Thank you entertaining and educating me over this series so many months ago. I hope you are doing well. Btw, don't stress about making a video, your life comes first. I will always be distracted by other things in my life, and I'll be here waiting for a video. I am a very patient lad.
Cheers mate.
Man! I am your big fan of your work! Keep it up as long as you progress it better!
This project made me get into resin 3d printing and I might as well turn into a patreon for the first time. I don't mind the slow down of the project, you deserve it.
You are incredible! You have inspired me to do things that I didn't even know was possible. I just wanted to stop in and tell you this so you know that we all miss you, and your videos have likely inspired more people than you can possibly imagine... just most of us are pretty bad about leaving comments most of the time.
Good luck with your full time job dude!
Awesome design
I hope your channel blows up in popularity and brings in those sweet ad bucks.
Hey Wiil, I don't want you to feel like this channel is an obligation, we understand that we are just a group of nerds excited for the use of technology that we haven't seen before
Thank you so much for this guidance. It's really gonna be helpful for me. Thank you!
hope you are doing well, excited to see the next step for this project
This is like a 3D Rolex. Remarkable work, thanks for doing it and thanks for sharing as much as you have!!!
Looks amazing thanks for the update!
such an incredible project!!!! some amazing work here
I've seen your videos like 100 times, you inspire me, thank you
I'm glad you are taking a break but please don't forget about this project. I've been following along for a few months now and look forward to seeing your updates. I truly believe you are doing something revolutionary and will be the building blocks of something amazing in the near future.
That brass geared thumb mechanism is a work of art and absolutely gorgeous design.
You’re a very clever bloke. Just found your channel. Nice to hear a Brit voice on UA-cam 👍🇬🇧
Dude, cool project. I think you have a great start, I'm going to look into see if I can improve it.
Come back whenever you're ready! Such great work on your channel
I hope your'e doing well, your videos are incredibly inspiring
Amazing job done at making the whole design and mechanism of the hand. By making it open source you are going to change lives of thousands of people if not more.
I wonder how the project is going.
same
Incredible stuff. This project is amazing.
Such an amazing project and engineer!
It is a pity to hear that it will be a slower progress but you have done an amazing job so far and just hoop that you boss knows what talent he has on you.
Amazing, love the series keep working even if the updates will take a longer time.
Thanks for sharing and for doing this amazing work. I am not an expert but super curious. I might give it a print and see how it works. It seems super interesting.
Прекрасная работа. Удачи тебе в твоих начинаниях.
Amazing work so far. Proof: LITERALLY 0 dislikes on this video. I've never seen that IN MY LIFE.
you have an awesome channel man. i hope life is treating you right. id love to see an update on you & your ideas man.
maya
Hope you are doing well. You are brilliant.
This is amazing am working on a bionic hand myself but it isnt as dexterous as yours you are my inspiration 🙏🏾

this is one of the Best hands i have ever seen that someone made and it look Fantastic very well made, when you Finish your Hand you need to get the Hand Model 3d Printed in Metal, you have made a new Resolution in Robot Hand, Awesome work man Keep it up, and Thank you for making it look more read them others have....
Your job is amazing!!
I pray you're doing well. Its been a while since an upload.
Great stuff! Be blessed.
Pls don't stop , do what you are best at. Cheers .
excellent work!
You are amazing man, such an inspiration!
Its inspirating with what an affort You go throu this project, I will rebuild it for Sure. Keep it up✌🏻👍🏻🇩🇪
It looks amazing!
more power to you man
This is way cool, and love the thumb drive.
What a great project!
Still great and genius works✨👏keep going the goals and motivation even without the funding needed
When I start working and get a resin printer, I'll try to make this. Great content bro
This thumb mechanism is genius. Functional and beautiful
Amazing work!
Brilliant! Amazing engineering !
Great work
This is great. I can’t wait to make one of these myself. Pretty soon I’m going to have access to a collaborative industrial robot, and I think it would be fun to give it a hand.
This is really awesome. Though I have reservations about the worm gear, with regards to backdriveability. GL with new job and tuning
Oh man one day i want to be able to project things like that , nice job man .
If you need to take time to make sure you can actually survive, then do it! Very rarely does UA-cam become a job in which someone can survive purely on income from videos and patron support, but even without that, your work is incredible! While I am nowhere near mechanically inclined or smart enough to come up with practical solutions to issues you face, or know any way to improve your designs, I love watching your design process on this. Keep up the amazing work, I know myself and so many others will be here to support you, help you with suggestions, and otherwise find interest in this project!
I think it would be an amazing idea for you to sell all the non printable parts in a kit. You could even start now with "beta kits" to help fund the project. It would also allow you to use the worm gear and other "hard to access" parts because you would be making them easier to access.
Agreed. If he's nervous about the shipping etc.. I think Alec Steele just had a sponsor that that may help.
How much do you think people would be willing to pay for a part kit? or the entire hand kit? (assembled or kit) ua-cam.com/users/DARARobot
would buy
@@kikelabmor how much would you be willing to pay? that is the question.
@@DARARobot my guess is he could sell a kit for $75 - $100 USD. Considering it's not complete. He'd have to invest in at leaset one more printer and the resin/time/effort/components. By my guess since he hasn't broken 100K subs he'd only sell near 100 kits. Not sure it's worth it.
That's why I think getting more people to see his channel is more important.
wow, i need this !! perfect for my hand
I love your work
very cool - got a new subscriber now! :) Hope everything works out.
I keep seeing comments about helping him out. If you're thinking purely monetary, he has affiliated links in the description and a Patreon set up. If not Read More...
If you're thinking outside the box (pun intended). I would suggest you share this project on your social media platforms. Clicks from outside the YT universe boost video rankings considerably. More eyes = more money
Along that thinking reach out to the other very popular YT channels and ask them to make a video about this project. Like Joel (3DPN), Makers Muse, CHEP, etc. To get other 3D printing fans involved.
But the biggest boost in the YT space would be to reach out to Desitin from Smarter Every Day or Mark Rober and ask them to take a look at it.
Lastly corporate sponsors and backing. If you're connected make the connection.
I'm sure Colin Furze would be interested in this, too, but he'd probably just attach a flamethrower to it, lmao.
@@shortnr wolverine blades maybe ;)
amazing bro
Hi Will, your work is amazing! How can I support your project, besides Patreon?
Try 0.2 nozzle on your FDM. It might take a while to print, but if you tune so you don't get clogs, you can start the print, go to work and after you come back, you should have some very nice and detailed parts.
Great work keep it up, Delrin bushings would work to replace your bearing issues.
Damn, i want to see continue of that project
On the wiring, the power and ground can be one line to all servos, instead of to each servo. You can also probably use a thiner gauge wire as they aren't pulling a lot of current, (at least for long periods of time).
This channel is very underrated
Beautiful!
Hi Will, Awesome video! Your work is very inspiring. I do have a couple questions:
1. What camera do you use to videotape your videos while working?
2. How do you upload videos with such good quality?
Thank you,

As a Robotic/Elec Engineer working on a soft robotic hand using artificial muscles at my lab, I'm so sad to hear you can't continue just doing youtube. I take a lot of inspiration from your work in how methodical and I try to mirror you in how much passion I put into my work, as well as take a full open source mindset the same as you! I'm always so excited to see anytime you post because it's really great work, I just wish more could be done to keep you only working on you projects!
Hi there, I saw one of your early videos about your hand back in 2015 and I've been coming back every once in a while since then. You are definitely an extraordinary man and I hope you get back to do your awesome work. Would you consider to manufacture your own actuators and place this inside the axis?
a diyer in a basement on a diy budget cannot simply manufacture their own actuators this is not realistic
damn man, i find this amazing channel and then find out its on a 2 year hiatus? thats painful but i know its not like you have a choice. i hope everythings going well with you man, we will all be eagerly waiting for you should you ever feel like you're in a stable enough position to return. godspeed.
Yeah I was following this when it was being updated. forgot about it and came back to see nothing has happened since :/
@@HavokBWR it happens, especially with covid, we can just hope that hes doing well and might be able to find the time in the future to return
524 Likes /0 Disklike, That mean that your job is undisputably fantastic!
Thinking about overcoming friction, Graphite powder could be applied as a non gloopy solution.
I also agree with others that getting your printer settings dialed in perfect will get you some extra percentiles of strength. I also personally think you should seriously look into printing with nylon, as it has decent wear properties.
Great design Will, I'm not sure if your friction problem is totally to do with the printed parts. Without having the prototype to physically look at I cannot be sure, but it looks as if you need more tension on the control lines to allow them to operate as intended. My thoughts on this is to use an anchor point in the control wire so that the tension is reduced and your pivot points are not fighting the axial loads as much.
Tune your FDM printer. Your design work is great... But that printer is really out of wack.
My thoughts too. Godlike CAD work all to be betrayed by iffy printing
@@Pyrohawk Never heard about the pareto principle? This guy develops something in his FREE time. It's about the mechanical principle, NOT about ultra cool looking within the first development step.
@Will: keep going man! It's all about getting results!
@@onairtotheworld bad surface quality will impact his mechanical interfaces. From experience. Its important he knows he can improve his print quality. I'm not throwing any stones at his design work, which is amazing.
also it's PETG, not PTFE...
Its not even FDM, it a SLA print man
Awesome.
For me, the wam design is superior. I think most people looking to use such a hand would expect to go out of their way to get the components printed/ordered in the first place, and the wires that stick out on the other seem like a long term pain. On the other hand, I think I would trust the wire design to hold up better under stress.
Maybe there's potential here for a flexture mechanism. The mechanics of the origami hyperbolic paraboloid and similar tessellations come to mind. Or like, a metal piece that's naturally in a closed position but can be flexed to open.
I'm sure I will be downloading the files and experimenting now that I have my own printer. Thanks for the hard work.
Absolute legend 🤘
just a tip, to avoid those pit marks where the supports are, put the whole print supports and all into warm water before snipping off the supports. the warm water will soften the material and stop the supports from taking chunks out of the print
I ordered my first 3d printer today, hoping to make something cool and useful like this!
Amazing video! May I ask what CAD program you are using?
Really hope you didn't abandon this project...
fabulous sir! I must say you are very innovative. I would like if you could built robotic eye cams i.e using cameras in the eyeballs of the animatronics eye project. Maybe you would add object recognition, object tracking and face recognition to bring life to it .Head's off!
I really stayed up till 3 am to watch this early 😂
Bro que pasó? Han pasado muchos meses desde tu último vídeo y a pesar de no entender nada me encanta como lo muestras
You could possibly use a leap motion controller as a temporary controller so you can test how close the movements get
