**Designer:** Marcus Mendenhall
**Description:**
This is mechanically a derivative of the Phoenix Reborn hand. It has a major difference, though. All the joints are cut parametrically in OpenSCAD, after the scaling of the main shape, allowing standardized steel dowel pins to make high-precision, strong joints. It also supports Delrin or PTFE tubing bearings inside the pins for smooth joints, and Igus adhesive bearing tape laterally in the joints to further lower friction. The goal is to eventually make everything parametric in OpenSCAD, so that the design can be highly customized with simple pull-down menus.
