FlexLinks: Cross-Axis Flexural Pivot (LEGO Compatible)
BYU_CMR shared this project on Thingiverse!
FlexLinks were developed for quick turn-around proof-of-concept prototyping of compliant mechanisms by the BYU Compliant Mechanism Research Group. Combined with commercial components from the LEGO Group, custom compliant components can be used to build a wide range of compliant mechanisms.
FlexLinks can either be 3D printed or cut out of polypropylene with a mill, CNC router, or water jet.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
