<p>e-NABLE volunteers Jason Briant and Nicholas Hall have designed a testing protocol to evaluate the strength of prosthetic hands fabricated with 3D-printed parts.</p><p>The Strength Test Print 2 takes a Raptor Reloaded gauntlet <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.youmagine.com/designs/raptor-reloaded-by-e-nable">https://www.youmagine.com/designs/raptor-reloaded-by-e-nable</a> and it's printed flat version <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.youmagine.com/designs/printed-flat-raptor-reloaded-gauntlet">https://www.youmagine.com/designs/printed-flat-raptor-reloaded-gauntlet</a> and creates a slice of each in the cross-section that frequent failure occurs. </p><p>Water is gradually added to a bucket suspended from the test piece until the piece fails, then the bucket of water is weighed to determine the strength.</p>
