Hi,

this is a simple multistable compliant mechanism. 

It is stable in five positions so I guess you could call it a pentastable compliant mechanism?

It could be used, for example, to position an object precisely and reliably.

 

It's still in a very early stage as you can see but it already works. Updated versions will follow soon.

I hope you like it. If it does not work for you please leave a comment or shoot me a message instead of just posting a 1 star review, I'm sure there is no problem that can't be solved.
