as a medical engineer student I think that what you're doing is amazing and I hope one day I can make something like this as well
Rooting for you, stay motivated :)
But as of now, my child, you shall spread the message of medical engineering with a Megumin anime girl profile picture
Yeah give big pharma more ways to screw people over 🙄
@@lorenzopollocaffe6277 may his explosions be grand, and his memes everlasting.
wow cool thanks for the input so cool wow
dude this is so cyberpunky! just the concept of being able to PRINT OUT FINGERS is insane, and you managed to not only actually print them, but also make them functional. really cool dude!
I have super high hopes for the powder metal sls printed versions. I'm hoping they are just the right weight, the plastic ones are way too light.
@@missingpartsclub I imagine with most printed parts the longevity isn't good, but must be such a time saver when testing designs before milling!
@@joshyc2006 besides, for those not having Ian's resources as skills, and pondering how affordable a 3D printer is, plastic pieces that wears out become easily replaceable by themselves.
@@joshyc2006 The metal printing (SLS, EBM, binder-sinter) technologies that exist nowadays are capable of producing parts that are just as strong as milled parts. The main drawback is lower accuracy and surface finish, but any critical surfaces can be finished post-print.
The convenience of being able to send your STLs to a company, pay them some money, and get your parts within a few business days made out of solid metal, is amazing.
@@missingpartsclub Are the plastic ones too light for a kid to use though? Just wondering.
I love seeing you consistently progress and improve upon the prosthetic. It's like seeing someone invent automail in real life
Awesome
@@automailmechanic940 lol ur nickname
Awesome
I'm not an amputee, doctor, or any kind of specialist, but as an artist interested in the different forms of mechanical prosthetics that could soon be available to us, I find this kind of stuff you're doing so fascinating, in regards to my own art and in the real world. Thanks!
Industrial design sounds like something you'd be a natural in. A dance of form and functionality.
I really love how you just don't stop with trying to develop the perfect prosthesis. some people wouldve stopped at the first one you made but youve just kept on going and kept on trying to make the best hand you possibly can and I think thats just amazing. Thanks for the video Ian
I mean he quite literally has skin in the game, he doesn't really have a choice
and he's sharing it for anyone to see and not charging thousands of dollars
@@Alucard-gt1zf He didn't need to make a 3d printable one, his personal hand is made of metal. And he could also quite easily be charging a lot of money for his designs.
It's always an Ian who makes the best stuff. Ian Goodfellow
@@Alucard-gt1zf How many handicapped people do you know that dedicate this much effort to assisting their own disability? No choice my ass lol.
It's interesting how this prosthetic also reflects how far 3D printing technology has come. If I remember correctly back to your older videos you used to have 3D printed fingers that you didn't really deem practical as a daily driver, but the technology has caught up to your needs (I see that Bambulab X1 back there!). Really cool to see how you take advantage of the changing 3D printing landscape.
A guy designing and building functioning prosthetics for himself is just about the coolest thing ever to me, not sure why but it speaks to me on a visceral level.
You're really taking the individual tinkerer approach to invention to an extreme! I've been watching these videos for years now, you're a huge inspiration.
true
Welldone mahn! I’m sure everyone who needs this is infinitely grateful that you’re doing this work
You should put a patent on that, I'm sure some company could be interested at some point ... And it save you from having your creation stolen from you too😉
This is sick! It's like automail from Fullmetal Alchemist! Keep up on the amazing work you're doing in creating a fully functional prosthetic readily available to improve people's lives!
Did you know this is already available for download?
Ian I just love how you are trying make your designs available to the public for however needs it, really encouraging seeing your progress in designing prosthetics
It looks cool 😎
This is incredible! I can’t tell you how awe inspiring your videos are and now seeing this next iteration that other people will be able to make had my jaw dropped for most of the video!
Give him some time, he'll be able to make a prosthetic jaw for you so it doesn't drop again! :D
I love these guys that work on 3D prostetics. Their rooms always look messy and their desktops are always full of previous iterations of their work. They are like mad scientists but not mad as insane, but as rebel, independent from the military industrial complex.
"Let me show you some of it's features."
Off in the distance, a mighty, booming chuckle is heard...
This was always one of the great promises of 3D printing and you're actually putting in the hard work to make it real. This might be a silly thought experiment for you but I can't help but see an enormous amount of potential.
This looks like snakes prosthetic arm in metal gear solid 5 wow
This is the first video of yours I've seen, and I gotta say, I'm really mesmerized by the aluminum prosthetic. The way you effortlessly control it really gives me the sweet cyborg vibes (specifically the cyborg pirate from Disney's treasure planet 😄)
The conversation with your cat was honestly the highlight.
I really admire that you are willing to work that prosthetic hand for those who do not have the same resources as you.
You are everything I aspire to be, thank you for all your work.
I'll take de time to share this to my friends ;]
Thanks! I appreciate it.
The 3D printer sure comes in handy for rapid prototyping. I'm always amazed and excited when you post a new video!
Don't ever stop, the World needs people like you.
The mention of this lighter more realistically-proportioned design being printed in stainless steel is both encouraging and thought provoking.
Very slick and aesthetic while it's being practical. Your skill to maintain both features is envious.
I'm happy to witness your progress just in time like this.
Ian you're changing the game man. Bravo the new hand looks incredible
People like you are a great example of why humans are awesome.
I hope one day that every person who wants one can have a cheap, durable, and well-articulated prosthetic like you Sir. Thank you for working on designs to improve the existing technology for others with no mechanical engineering skill.
You've come a long way man! I work in M industrial setting and I was always really worried about accidents and losing limbs or digits thinking it would be an end to a routine life. But after following your content I can now see just how well prothstetics can aid someone with missing body parts. What you do is really cool. I'm always exited to see what you're coming up with next.
I can totally imagine this becoming modular pieces you can adjust for all ages and hand sizes, once the finger mechanics is completed. Great work coming so far with this!
every year or so, youtube gives me an update on this man and his prosthetic. im glad tbh
World needs engineers like that! People should wake up and look at this amazing stuff instead of tiktoks
I guess i kind of expected as much from a machinist, but the quality on those 3d prints really look incredible man. Best of luck with the next iterations, hope it works out for you
So, you are basically pioneering advanced hand cybernetics, I've been following you since you first started posting and honestly I'm astonished, this is Nobel Peace Prize level stuff, your work should be the standard for all prosthesis going forward, your creations compared to what's commonly available are amazing, how have you not been heavily commended for this up until this point is beyond me, cybernetics need all the advances it can get and you my good friend did what most of us thought impossible not more than a decade ago, you can do great things with this.
Thanks! I too wonder what I'm doing wrong that I haven't been picked up by one of the major players. I interviewed with ossur's president of r&d a couple of years ago and really thought it was going to go somewhere, but unfortunately nothing... they're really excited about what I'm doing, but not excited enough to cut me a check. I'll get picked up someday...
@@missingpartsclub maybe they will pick up you if you will try one more time? Couple of years, it's a long term, maybe they changed their mind in this time
Nobel Medical Prize
"We can rebuild him, we can make him better". As a disabled veteran the ingenuity of inventors today gives me hope.
Awesome prosthetics bruh.
This man didn't lose a hand, he gained a hobby!
I’m assuming you have design patents for these? It’s such an amazing innovation, and I love the way it looks. Purple is my favorite color lol love your videos!
to get a patent in the us, you have to publicly release manufacturing instructions and then hire a team of lawyers enforce it
@@voidwyrm6149 then just get a patent in europe or smth
If I've understood Ian throughout his videos, I don't think he wants any patents anyways. I think he genuinely just wants to help other amputees out there make the most of what they have left with some awesome creative technology.
Edit: I believe he also shares his designs freely, it's up to others out there to take inspiration from those designs and alter them as necessary for their own unique body.
@@southernflatland Make them publicly. If he doesn't directly release them as public domain, they may get copyrighten and patented by someone else.
Patents are useless to us, it's only a tool for corporations to keep their copyright.
So cool!! I'm glad to see the possibility of being able to get this design out there for people to make themselves!! Also the cat at the end makes me so happy lskdfjsld
it's always great seeing an update video from you every 2 or so months pop into my recommended feed, more power to you man, you're a huge inspiration
Just found your channel and I have to say that this has got to be one of the coolest and most innovative things I've seen in a while. I didn't even know something like this was possible but I hope it goes well for you and that you're able to get this out to people who need it.
This is so amazing and so good that you are working towards making these designs available to others. Your prosthetic designs are so versatile in what they do that they are nothing short of genius
This is insanely awesome. I have been following you for years now and I am always impressed and inspired by the progress of your builds. :)
I've just come across your channel for the first thanks to the lovely UA-cam algorithm. This project is so encouraging and your commitment to help others is so refreshing to see. Personally, I was born without any fingers on my left hand and I never had any prior consideration for prosthetic replacements due to its costs in price. You've earned a subscriber and I also hope to start my own journey for creating my own finger prosthetics!
Absolutely beautiful engineering as usual. You never cease to amaze in what you so man. Props to the cat for having input too
Woah! I had a random thought about prosthetic hands yesterday and now I see this in my recommended!
I have an interest in engineering and I love seeing how the human body moves so prosthetics has always been in my interest even if I have no use for them.
Good job man! Comments help with the algorithm so I’ll share by putting a comment!
You are seriously one of the most inspiring people I've ever encountered. Your resolve for functional prosthetics is incredible. I'd love to create a character based on you for a table top RPG campaign. But I hope you wouldn't find that insulting.
This is like being Anakin Skywalker. I love it.
Awesome stuff, and exciting progress that you are making. can't wait to see the 3d printed metal parts too!
Subscribed about a month ago , I’m blown away with your ingenuity and the design is so cyberpunk it’s amazing ! Can’t wait to see the progress bro happy building take care 😁✊🏽
What I love about his work is that it's all mechanical.
That metal arm is the coolest thing I've seen. I'd buy one just to admire it from time to time
Cannot wait to see it move!
It looks amazingly useful!
I look forward to seeing the progress you make on the 3D printed steel. Seeing how close in dimensions that was to your real hand was just insane, I've been watching your hand evolve since I think iteration 2 or 3, and I'm excited to see where this goes in the future
This is.. The coolest thing ever. I cant imagine what it feels like to have a limb or sumn gone. But i can imagine LESS the pure joy of having some way of getting it back, especially small intricate things like fingers
This is some next level stuff! I have been silently seeing and hearing about your prosthetic endeavors since I cant evenremember, and it's just incredible what you have accomplished.
Love this new design! Can't wait to see what comes next for this as it looks way lighter and convenient I think
about 2 years I was giving up on life I couldnt find independence with my disability (epilepsy) Felt hopeless. Machining always captured my interest it's truly an art. Well, thank you Ian for your constantly inspiring videos. You're a true hero of youtube.
there's something so badass about a guy with a metal hand talk about making prosthetic hands while showing off a prosthetic hand he made
I'm new to your videos but this is amazing crafting. I love how expressive the metal fingers are as you talk, there is something really wonderful about that, as well as your obvious talent in creating something so necessary and functional. A pleasure to watch and learn, thank you
Your work is going to live on for a long time Mr. Davis! Every time I watch your videos, I think about the millions of people that will be benefiting from your designs in the future, you really are an innovator!
Can you start a company we can invest in?!
@@InspectahPatio the last thing that needs to happen is that these prosthetics follow in the footsteps of insulin.
@@JimJamTheAdmin Very true!
Any chance we'll see the STL files?
Hopefully folks donate or pay for those files if he does share them designing such mechanics takes a lot of ingenuity and engineering.
This is so cool of you to do! People having the ability to print out a new set of fingers for themselves must be so nice for them!
These are some badass looking prosthetics you've got and the idea of them being more accessible to people in need makes me so happy
This video is incredible uplifting and speaks of an indominatble will and larger-than-life positivsm to make life better for so many people. And it adds cat power ! Probably the most positive 3 minutes of YT I've seen in a very, very long time. I can only bow in deep respect, Mr. Davis.
This is amazing man! I am so happy for you to find joy in this. Nothing can stop you!
I love this guy whole mood. You get inspired just by hearing him. I've been watching for a few years now.
Hey dude, great to get videos from you. We are all cheering you on in this cool engineering quest.
The world is in need of great designs. You are amazing for doing this!!! Keep it up!!!
Just make sure to focus on your other health aspects too alright!
You've come a long way! Amazing work dude. Love from NZ!
THAT'S AWESOME! You're doing great work!!! So exciting!
I've followed your project for what feels like (and probably is) years now and it has always been so compelling to me. And to see the way you've evolved the process of creating your prosthetics is really cool. 3d printing. I wouldn't have ever thought of that. Awesome!
I don't have missing fingers and I'd willingly buy this for a friend or two who need them. Heck, just to have a pair and share the news!
You're doing a work that so few can do, and just seeing this as even a sliver on inspiration for people just makes it amazing.
Thinking of the application of having lost fingers replaced with a controllable prosthetic as small as these just makes the world feel a lot better.
Keep the dream strong, Ian! And I'll be posting this to however many places I can.
Man, that's cool to see! What a clever design, and the detachable/replacable finger pads is extra neat
This is incredible. Your channel was one of the catalysts for me deciding to go into Biomechanical Engineering and Prosthetics. Thank you so much for showing all your work.
looks awesome man! it's so cool seeing your progress on these prosthetics :)
Dude I have followed you videos almost since the begining, and it's so interesting you had a problem and have solved it everytime. Keep up the amazing work.
Yess! Love your dedication!!!!!
I’ve been watching your channel grow since the beginning and I’m so happy you’re working with a 3D printer now! Pioneering accessible prosthetics! You sir are not only a mechanical genius and an inspiration but a genuinely wonderful person! Please continue making videos they are criminally underrated!!
Super cool stuff Ian, keep up the great work man :)
Honestly so impressed with your progress, have been following for quite a while. Find you to be a unicorn of a human. Keep doing awesome things. You're an amazing hooman.
Love watching your ingenuity, and I've always been fascinated w/ Prosthetics, and watching you do your own iterations is a lot of fun thanks!
Super amazing! I've been following for a while and it's really awesome to see that you might make kits in the future! This will be super helpful because most robotic and current prosthetics are extremely limited or slow.
The kit will give *way* more flexibility for those people that needs it.
this man is out here do more for the prosthetic industry than half of the billion dollar companies out there.
I have been watching over the years and get so excited to see a new upload. Incredible Ingenuity and a Kind soul. Keep it up
You're a legend, you have the insight of a day-to-day user of prosthetics plus the engineering skills to iterate these designs. These could legitimately help so many, bravo!
ceaselessly amazed by your work and process! Also love the colorscheme on this one. Thanks for the inspiration
This man is doing gods work. "You lose a finger? No prob man I got chu!"
I love the progress that you're making with the prosthetics, man! Keep up the good work and the amazing videos!
One of my friends lost his Pinky and Ring fingers in an accident, and it's nice knowing people like you are out there trying to make projects like these
I’ve seen a lot of prosthetic maker devices this series is my favorite by far keep it up. 3D printable is a huge leap
Holy sh$t! you’ve come so far! I remember when you were making prototypes and how ineffective they were at the time and your gradual improvement, now to this! I knew about one of your more recent design improvements but this is amazing!
You really have come so far! Your truly an astonishing man Ian!
That's a great idea, Ian! You have all the knowledge and drive to make this new iteration working and available for everyone. Keep at it you crazy genius 👍
Amazing work you're doing for free! I'm most in love with your own metal hand of course, but it is surprisingly interesting what goes into designing a 3D printable version. I'm sure it will be a huge help to many!
(P.S. Love that the cat wanted to thank the supporters on Patreon as well!)
Every video I see is a substantial upgrade. Bro you're min/maxing so well. Love the progression
Dude that is so cool! Major respect!
Awesome Awesome!! Love to see the progress :)
Watching this always make me realize how amazing our body function so perfectly.
Been following you and your videos for a while now and just want to say (as I have on other videos) I absolutely love your work, dude. Incredible stuff and I really admire you making your designs available to those who may need them!
That looks amazing! Best of luck! Subbed!
I just found this randomly, but I had to watch the whole thing twice. This is as interesting as it is genius. Makes me grateful I don't have to consider prosthetic fingers, but I'm glad there's someone out there figuring out solutions for the people who do.
That's really awesome bro, keep going with this, dont stop!
