It depends upon what you mean but the compliance can be integrated into something with movable parts or separate pieces. It’s actually almost certainly going to be part of at the minimum sliding/moving parts if used functionally and if not it still might be peices 3d printed inside of each other to combine usage and movement. One key aspect that makes compliant mechanisms so useful is the ability to remove SOME bearings or linked parts, or simplify them. 3d printing means linked parts can be printed inside of each other so it’s simply but permanent, and compliance is used to oftentimes create unique complex or difficult smooth motion where needed inside of a system, but it doesn’t mean there aren’t separate parts that link or interact. These examples actually utilize single print parts that are separate but permanently linked when they are hinged or have separate pieces. Sure technically a compliant mechanism involves a single piece for definition purposes but it’s still equally effective to print and have function designs like the one in the video, nevertheless implement it into situations where the mechanism is linked to regular parts and bearings. There is still compliance in each piece the creator is just showing those compliant pieces as part of their full design and use.

can you share the cad file for the mechanism?
Cool stuff
Some of those have hinges though?

these are really awesome
Why thank you!! The creators of these designs are very good 😎
What material are those 3d printed in?
SUNLU PLA+ 😁
Thank you all for watching! What was your favorite part of the video? What should I print next??
Mark robers quarter scale nerf gun
What do I do now?
never mind
CONGRATULATIONS!! I just sent you an email, please see that for more instructions on how to receive your free gift :)
did u actually get anything?
