Bone Finger Aktualisiert

c'est bel et bien écrit dans sa description qu'il faut faire attention car ca l'a été modelé a ses doigts qui sont larges. il dit de commencer en ajustant la grosseur a 80% et augmenter en fontion des doigts. il dit aussi d'utiliser de la mousse autocollante pour ajuster d'avantage et ajouter de la grip.

What a strange request

You could send it to this email and I'll take a look at it. Always looking for way to improve , Much appreciated. The reason it's designed the way it is was for durability and trying to reduce the ring size around the fingers from bumping into each other. Usually when you print it in all one piece those little side pins crack off because of the orientation you have to print it in. Again I'm sorry that file has been added to so many times from so many different people requesting certain things. It was never meant for resin printing but people wanted to try anyway so I had the files. Also it was originally supposed to be for an fdm printer with a set set up build plate. Thank you for your purchase and supporting my art . And I'd love to see your ideas here's my email.

First of all Thanks for this great design. I was also thinking about this "Also, I didn't like the idea of printing 4 fingers with the improved design, and a thumb with the deprecated design" Is it intentional that the thumb is the deprecated design?

@LittleTup I just sent you an e-mail with the file. :) Printing the finger's base with separate side hinges makes sense indeed. I didn't get it and just went with the easier assembly, but now I understand. Well, you can put the split base instead, it will work just like with any other finger. All I did was melt one half of the first knuckle with one half of the second knuckle – so that the claw fits to it and it's got two parts instead of three. ^^

@Chase90 The initial design had fingers in two parts (1 knuckle + 1 claw). Then the author improved them, making them thinner and in three parts (2 knuckles + 1 claw). There was no dedicated thumb design, hence using the old two-parts design and say it's a thumb. :P My modifications did just that: have a thumb in two parts but with the new, thinner design. If the author thinks it actually is an improvement, it may end up in an update to the files? :)

I apologize for all the confusion. I did not realize that the pictures posted above that give you the step by step we're not actually included when you downloaded. Also that being said this file has been added to over the years by people asking for certain things when originally it was just two files set up for a 200 mm x 200 mm build plate that you could just add supports in a brim to and print each full plate has one finger on it. It wasn't that confusing when this file started out but everybody has asked for something to be added for their own personal needs. All you really need to do is print out the full build plates they have every part you need for one finger. Also I put them all together so you can easily scale them up and down for each fingers to fit.

you dont need instagram to see the video

Just updated file with full unsplit parts. thanks for your support!

Same :P

I wouldn't see why not. personally it feels like a waste of resin. The difference in quality at this size would be unnoticeable after painting or smoothing when in use. I might also argue that resin printing these would add to weight, which may work in your favor or not...? The fun thing about 3d printing is it's your world. If you want them resin printed, you can make that way. My opinion but I'd say not needed.

I'm sorry you're having issues scaling down the fingers. It is hard to make something one-size-fits-all off out of rigid plastic. I have personally scaled them down to 75% to fit my daughter's hand without a problem. email me directly and I'll see if I can help you out with your issue. There are few different tricks you can do to make them fit your fingers better

I am having good results scaling them slightly for each finger.

I ran into the same issue. The problem is that if one scales so the base fits nicely you cannot get your finger all the way into the next bone segment (as OP pointed out, it tapers). And if you try to scale pieces individually (there goes printing the whole plate at once) you risk the joint breaking because of the size differential putting pressure on those 2 pieces you glued to the sides of the base (wondering why they're separate?). I think the solution is to scale for the finger piece and then print the whole plate and pad the base. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE your work! These are AWESOME!!

Thank you for your support it means a lot to me . point one means layer height. If this is your first time finding the fingers I recommend printing the full plate if you have the ability. Set it up with the supports and I would use a Brim for security. Also these were designed for large hands wearing gloves I tell most people to scale everything down to 80% and it's a good place to start see how they fit your fingers . Again I recommend the full plate could you can scale all the parts at one time . If you do not have the bed space you do a full plate you have to print each part at least one time and then you should end up with one. Finger and one full thumb. If you get stuck I have an assembly video posted on Instagram.

Ah! I assumed 0.2 was the layer height so that was why I was confused! Thank you for the extra detail. I have set up several of the knuckle stl at different percentages ready to print, to check what size I need, but I have quite small hands so I might need to go lower than 80%!

What print time are you getting for the full plate stl? I'm looking at around an 11 hour print at a 0.2 layer height on my Ender 3, just wondering if that seems about right?
