Socket Prototypes
Jun 03, 2014
I busted out the shapelock and made the first of a number of prototypes for the socket that will be my magnet implant computer interface. the general design I’m planning for is a full finger socket, most likely to the metacarpophalangeal joint. It will have a small amount wiggle room for the tip of my finger bu otherwise be a snug fit. The inductor coil will be embedded in a groove in the plastic, and the magnetometer will fit in a dent in the bottom. I’m considering a fabric sleeve to hide the wires and keep things from getting snagged.
