Description

Summary

The Kwawu 3.0 Wrap Version is a functional, improved prosthetic device designed for individuals with forearm limb differences. Compared to the 2.0 version, this design offers enhanced functionality and is easier to assemble.


Jacquin Buchanan redesigned the Kwawu 3.0 to give it a more natural appearance and significantly more functionality. Its terminal device offers stronger grip strength, enabling users to pick up small items with the index finger, thumb, and larger objects using the full hand.


This version- the wrap version- is intended for users with long forearm residual limbs. A separate socket version is available for those with shorter residual limbs.


*Important*:

Do not print the STL files directly.

Download all files and use OpenSCAD to modify and properly scale the components.


A detailed instructional guide, including steps for installing OpenSCAD and using the provided code for customization, can be found in the PDF titled Kwawu 3.0 Wrap Version Instructional Guide, available here:
