Prototype 5 BETA Assembly picture guide

First, remove the supports from your SensorHousing and put your wired hall effect sensors in like this.


Next, take your magnetPinion, and put 4-5 magnets into the rectangular slot, and a bearing into the circular area.


Fit the pinion onto the sensorHousing here.


Fit the servoRack into the corresponding slot in the sensorHousing.


FingerRack goes here, and gets trapped there by the sensorTop.

You may have some difficulties inserting the sensorTop into the sensorHousing if it's too tight. Work it slowly and if you need, change your tolerance settings in your slider. If you need to remove your sensorHousing, do so with a flathead screwdriver and a rocking motion on the back part.


Put the servoGear on the servo (works best with MG90S servos), and screw it onto the two holes on the sensorHousing and the sensorTop.


Take your rigidMount and glue some comfy foam on the back. Try to leave the holes open to make mounting easier.


Stick a magnet into each rectangular slot in the rigidMount, for the splay sensors.


Stick a bearing into the circular hole, and put a bearingRetainer on top to keep it in. Depending on the tolerances of your printer, you may need to scale up or down your bearing retainer by 1% or so. You want it to be a tight fit.


SensorHousing has a circular protrusion that fits into the splay bearings.


Repeat for each finger and you're done!
