Hunter's comment
We may not be able to totally relate but I guess we all know that hand disability limits anyone's functioning. That is not to mention the possible psychological effect of inferiority and withdrawal. This project aims to address just like that.
Bionico hands are 3D-printed hand which is connected to an actuator that opens and closes the hand. TThe hand is entirely 3D printed. 2 fishing lines are passed in each fingers, then connected to actuators that open and close the hand.
The rotations of the actuators are controlled by muscle sensors placed on the muscle skin that will convert the muscle contraction to electricity. An electronic arduino board makes the link between all these elements. Power is generated by LR6 batteries.

howdy there macoolette! I really like this one, just think how many people this can help and it should be reasonable in price given that it can be made with a 3D printer! Very cool find.

I also thought this is very helpful but unfortunately, moderators of steemhunt did not appreciate it just because of the link. They had this hunt delisted. 😄

oh rats! ok then you just find and put another one in it's place? or did you lose out on that day's post?

Sometimes I feel like contesting with how they moderate because it is inconsistent but I mentioned that I tried once and nothing happened so I just let it go. It may seem that I lost for the day's hunt but not totally. I still get the payout for the upvotes from Steemit even if smaller amount. I just think that tomorrow will be another day, another hunt. 😊

oh I understand macoolette, that's the best attitude to have. When do you work on steemhunt and steemit, after you get home from work?

I sometimes squeeze in Steemit very shortly during break time at work. Then continue while on my way home. I guess I don't have to ask you the same question. You seem to have all the time anytime for Steemit. 😊

haha! Well I work for a while on outside work then run in and try to catch up, I'm on and off all day then stay up half the night catching up with the comments and people I'm trying to follow! It's nuts really and Mrs. J is not happy with spending so much time here. It's addictive though!

Addictive! 😃
I have to admit I felt the same. I can't wait to get to Steemit most of the time. Unfortunately, my job is demanding more and more of my time. Just like last night. It was a Friday night but it is when I got home so late and was not able to post my hunt. Darn, I missed hunting for a day! 😂
Watch out, Mrs. J might spill coffee on the computer just to get you away from Steemit. 😃
