A gripper based on a design I saw from Festo. Lot's of cool mechanisms, printed in place!

The gripper beaks can take the shape of the object they hold, like in this case an orange!

Printing it is pretty self explanatory, or watch the short:

edit: Just to clarify this is not a remix of https://www.printables.com/model/118880-flexy-pliers-print-in-place-toy even though I will admid it is very similar! But I started this project just trying to print something I saw from festo and very quickly realized I had to create little hinges or it would not work.

EDIT: added clamps with a texture for more friction

update 02/10/2023: added new housing and clamp for a gripper with only 2 beaks
