Description

Update Rev3_ Updated screw yet again for additional strength. 

MAAM_GripR (Modular Articulated Arm for Multiboard – Grip Version) is a fully poseable jointed arm with a precision gripper attachment, designed to hold small objects, tools, wires, or parts in place. Ideal for 3D printing tasks, soldering, resin models, electronics, or cosplay assembly — anywhere you need a third hand.

🔄 Remix Origins

This is a remix combining:

• 🦴 The clavicle joint structure from Dummy 13 (Printables Source)
  Changes: Extended neck and resized joints for arm stability
• 🔩 The Big Threads from Multiboard (Thangs Source)
  Changes: Merged into a custom sphere to connect with the clavicle frame

🛠️ Mounting Options

✔️ Multiboard Wall – Easily screw it directly into your wall-mounted Multiboard using the big thread base.

✔️ Tabletop Core Mount – Just like the MAAM-Lamp, you can print a small Multiboard-compatible plate and screw it to your tabletop for stable, freestanding use. you can print a 2x2 base you can use for this (see pics).

✋ Grip Features

The articulated “hand” grips parts with precision and firmness. I use it to:

• Hold wires while soldering
• Clamp small prints while painting
• Keep components steady during resin post-processing
• Even stabilize cosplay parts for gluing or wiring

This is a true extra hand on your bench.

🧵 Printing Tips

I started with PLA, but like with MAAM-Lamp, the arm joints quickly sagged and lost friction. PLA is known to creep under constant stress, especially in jointed mechanisms.

🔁 Reprinted in PETG, the grip arm now holds firm, even after many adjustments.
⚠️ Add a brim for better bed adhesion — especially for base and ball sections.
