The second iteration of the design scaled down the size and thickness of the original part. Another significant change was the change in the silicone material. Instead of using the 00-31, this iteration utilized the 00-45 silicone. The demolding process was a lot more seamless with this part, probably due to a combination of both size and material. More importantly, this design was successful in performing some sort of actuation. Due to the large chambers in the middle, upon the initial tests, the part bent in the middle quickly. Overall, the part seemed to function like a joint.
