MAAM_GripR – Modular Articulated Arm for Multiboard

Update: Rev 3_ Updated Screw Joints once again for strength. (See Images).

Update: Rev 2_ updated Screw because it was breaking due to the orientation, during the snaping of it, I reoriented the print to horizontal, and use horizontal screws to strengthen it. 🦾 MAAM_GripR – Modular Articulated Arm for Multiboard (Grip Version)

MAAM_GripR 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) (https://www.printables.com/model/1000024-dummy-13-design-files) Changes: Extended neck and resized joints for arm stability - 🔩 The Big Threads from Multiboard (Thangs Source) (https://thangs.com/designer/Multiboard/3d-model/Big%20Threads%20-%20STEP%20Multiboard%20Remixing%20Files-994679) Changes: Merged into a custom sphere to connect with the clavicle frame

--- 🛠️ Mounting Options

✔️ Multiboard Wall Mount – Easily screw it directly into your wall-mounted Multiboard using the big thread base. ✔️ Tabletop Core Mount – Like the MAAM-Lamp, you can print a small Multiboard-compatible 2x2 plate (https://thangs.com/designer/Multiboard/3d-model/2x2%20MU%20Multiboard%20Core%20Tile-977680) and screw it to your tabletop for a stable, freestanding use. (See photos for reference.)

--- ✋ 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 - Stabilize cosplay parts for gluing or wiring

It’s truly like having an extra hand on your bench.

--- 🧵 Printing Tips

Try the MAAM-Lamp (https://thangs.com/designer/marco.p.saenz/3d-model/MAAM-Lamp%20%28Modular%20Articulated%20Arm%20for%20Multiboard%29-1387061?source=Recent).

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 the base and ball sections.
