dvrk-cannulas

CAD models for da Vinci Classic custom cannulas. These supports can be used instead of the standard metal cannulas for research applications. This repository contains 2 models, a fixed one and one with a hinge. The model with a hinge is convenient for instruments with sensors attached near the tip that can be inserted through the 8+ mm opening of a normal cannula.

Notes

To make these, you will need:

  • 3D printer
  • 4mm tap to make the threads on the holders. It is recommended to print the parts vertically to get the best possible precision for the holes to be threaded
