            hole. The same method can be applied to the disk-tube design to get the optimal position of
            the guiding hole.



            11.6 Prototype and experiment

            Prototypes are made to demonstrate the motion of the manipulator. A one-piece design
            manipulator has been 3D-printed. It is printed using NinjaFlex material, as shown in Fig. 11.19.
