Compliant mechanisms are marvels of modern manufacturing. Complex, moving parts, but made from a single piece with calculated deformation. In this video, I showcase an array of 3D printed compliant mechanisms, and outline some valuable tips for designing and printing your own.
Thanks to my patron Geoff for requesting this video.
