YOU GUYS YOU GUYS ITS PRINTING! Okay let me calm down and catch you up. SO. Since my last post, we designed the final design on tinkercad (here it is below). There’s a hollow cylinder with a dome carved into to it, which will attach to the leg stump, and a piston will go up and down in the cylinder, making it airtight. At the end of the piston will be a ball, which will go into the ball joint connected to the pedal, turning the linear motion into rotational motion. Here’s the design!
AND NOW ITS PRINTING! I still can’t believe it, it doesn’t feel real yet, but as soon as it’s finished it probably will. I’m so excited, I’ve never 3D printed something yet, and it’s so cool to see the culmination of a long semesters work (fingers crossed that it will work!). I’ll update you guys as soon as it’s finished, this is what it looks like right now
