The All Shake & No Strain was created with the idea of a Bartender who lost his arm in a bar fight, who decided to upgrade his prosthetic arm to aid him in his job. The arm was cast in plaster from an alginate mold of my arm and painted to look like a beer bottle, modeled after the Corona Extra label.

The BME students 3D printed a jigger, and a cage to hold and shake the shaker. The cage will be mounted on top of the forearm while the jigger will be mounted on the palm of the hand.

Bringing Nick's concept to real life proved to be quite the challenge, as we had to deviate from the original design. In Nick's original sketch, he designed the shaking mechanism to be on the under part of the arm; however, considering our time constraints, we found it easier to mount the shaking mechanism on top of the arm. We did our best to stay true to the original sketch, while finding ways to optimize the designs being put on the arm.

For the 3d printed parts - jigger, jigger mount, shaking mechanism, and tool attachment - we utilized the Fusion 360 software. Fusion 360 allowed us to visualize the design in a 3d space with accurate dimensions. Moreover, the transition from the design phase to the printing phase via Makerbot Replicator+ was seamless.
