My research mainly consisted of looking up different types of joints / points of rotation. I knew that in order to achieve my goals, I would need some axis that was relatively strong in nature and would be able to counteract the force being pushed on it. After looking at 3D prints and their respective joints, I came across a model of a ratchet wrench and began to examine its properties. It seemed to me that the ratchet joint was able to withstand heavy pressures and worked well for maintaining specific rotational positions.
Additionally, I figured that implementing some laser-cut materials (clear acrylic) for the arms would benefit in giving the device flexible, yet durable movement.
