How to create effective compliant mechanisms with 3D printing

Check out my 2nd channel, TT Racing:    / @ttracingyt   Compliant mechanisms are marvels of modern manufacturing. Complex, moving parts, but made from a single piece with calculated deformation. In this video, I showcase an array of 3D printed compliant mechanisms, and outline some valuable tips for designing and printing your own. Thanks to my patron Geoff for requesting this video. 0:00 Introduction 0:44 What is a compliant mechanism?
