Tubing Adapter for Soft Robots

One simple but infuriating problem within making silicone soft robots is making a secure and air-tight connection between the tubing that leads to your air source and the soft robot itself. As a solution to this, I've developed these adapters. Once you cast your soft robot, you can use the Customizer script on this page to make the mold for your adapter. Print it out, cast it, fuse it to your robot, insert the tubing, tighten a zip-tie, and you're done!
