Compliant gripper rebuild (EN) →
Self-contained write-up in English for an outside reviewer. What was built and why,
calipered geometry with a self-check, an unresolved URDF/measurement gap, rib parameters
and the checker that had never run, the friction pattern and one CGAL trap, the Shore-A
material table against hardware feedback, and the snap-on leaf spring. Two open questions
at the end.

Parametric design rules →
What may scale with blade length and what is pinned to the hardware, the one quantity that
must be back-solved or the mount fit breaks, and the twelve checks to run after changing it.

Blade v4 parametric →
Rebuilt: the tip draws in on a parabola, the ribs reach 10 mm further down, and length is
now a free parameter that keeps the mount fit intact. Drawing, renders, print settings, and
STLs at 89.4 / 100 / 120 mm to download.
tip rail holds to 0.02 mm across 31 mm

The five measurements →
Six named points, five caliper readings, all in one closed state — enough to settle the hole
shift, the convergence angle, and whether the mating face needs flattening at all.

What is REAL_Gripper_Blade →
The 68 mm file the whole v4 chain is built on, that nobody remembers supplying — rendered,
measured, and traced through every claim the repo makes about it.
