Nazgul-Panzerhandschuhe Der Herr der Ringe

A very cheap one that I found on Amazon. It was 8$ but was a long time ago. It was something like this, take a look: https://www.amazon.es/MELLIEX-Guantes-Pantalla-Tactil-Artificial/dp/B0CDLNDMRD/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?adgrpid=65393181729&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.svWOK_M89Vit92y7xzR0UJXggU9EFLiuYMUiyMQjh5mfOfsakHYNXJJVIc1qsj_ezx-KDHarVzvbVWfvB1kfwUEEskTBLvc7pkKx-G2eOTho9S66zKCgy86yYgBAli3k1DJZxKmC5Z8hWsRNYSjDm8kjVXgHjwLQMnjyVyppV0cdtNJEMstEY3z-683McrxrZtY_P6DnF2JIL_xPIYxt-dVqkZKISgsFY3QGHY0RUX3gcA5Fj2y6kncpJkjFmLNLRTdq9EUquRM5AtMqFOyIyCVcxjB6LgwdruyVM-X0vzw.GExO0XlreQescfSfLfSuirhkD0aSEAzTykZFTpa669U&dib_tag=se&hvadid=600524708388&hvdev=m&hvexpln=0&hvlocphy=1005545&hvnetw=g&hvocijid=9868167546595930039--&hvqmt=b&hvrand=9868167546595930039&hvtargid=kwd-1966054452411&hydadcr=22522_2227911&keywords=guantes+de+piel+cuero&mcid=ba8e27e888dd3225b55c30c7f38a9a25&qid=1761389511&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRm&psc=1

Hi! Yes, this is how I did it: I sanded well all the parts to make it look smooth and even. Then I painted it all black as a base, because I printed it in blue to show better the details in the photos. If you print it directly in black pla I think it would be better, and probably you can skip this step. Later I took a shiny metal paint and with some crumpled paper I gave little touches all along the surface. This way you get like this dark metallic surface, and depending on how much metal colour paint you use you'll get it darker or lighter. I went for the darker dirty look, more accurate with the films. Finally, with the brightest metallic paint I could find, I used a small pencil to highlight all the edges. This gives it a more realistic metallic look. Finally, I created some scratches here and there using the same technic with the little pencil. I hope this works for you too :)

I'm afraid not, but I can try to explain it to you even if it's not that illustrative. I did the following steps for each piece:
- I placed the piece on the part of the finger where I wanted it.
- I passed the needle with thread through one of the holes in the piece, and then immediately afterward I passed it through the glove, making a small hole.
- Then I took the needle out of the glove, passing it through again and creating a second hole very close to the first.
- Now I repeated the process described, starting again by passing the needle through the hole in the piece and so on, thus forming several knots. I did this 3 or 4 times, to ensure that it was well tied.

Of course, since the finger piece is held on both sides, the procedure had to be repeated at the other end with the other hole.

I didn't upload the mirrored files because with any slicer (I use cura) you can easily do it: https://youtu.be/ejlL4zzWC-I?si=AsLIFBrjPMIwxWou
There is always an option. Can you try it that way? If you don't achieve it, I can try to take some time and upload the mirrored files.

Thank you very much for your comment and support, means a lot. To me it's really special to see that some people have followed my work so close, from the first versions of the Gauntlets to the last one, and have pass throw all this process of continouos improvement, just as I did. I'm very glad you enjoyed, and I really appreciate your comment. It tells me that all my work and effort for this little porject of mine was usefull for someone out there. Thank you very much :)))

of corse, this has been one of my fav stl files to date and hope to see more work from you in the future

i also try to recommend the stl file to all who ask about it (i have a lil notes section in my phone for it :))))

I'm using elastic bands. I glue the elastic band to the back side of the arm piece, making a elastic ring to pass the arm through it. The elastic band is very easy to glue to the PLA with any kind of instant glue. With that you will be able to wear the gauntlet. Also, after making the ring, you can also sew the band to the glove in the arm side, so that way the glove gets attached permanently to the gauntlet and is totally functional. But, in case you want something more... professional I would say, I'm right now working on the design of a new piece (bottom armpiece), wich is optional, and will allow you to close the gauntlet totally around you arm. It's basically the piece to close the arm side. I will upload this piece to the files very soon, with the next post update. I love improving my models and releasing new and better versions frequently, trying to get the best design of the gauntlet for 3D printing in the whole internet. Stay tuned because once you downloaded the gauntlet you will have access to all the upgrades for free and for ever, so don't worry that you'll get this new piece soon!

Sweet thanks for the advice will try out the elastic as I need to finish them for next weekend. Another question how do you keep the triangular thumb piece in place on the glove?

Hey! Happy to help. That's a good question, don't know actually how anyone has ever make it before. I'll make sure to leave the process that I'll explain to you know in the general description, and also upload a tutorial video to Instagram for this as soon as I can. Well, let me tell you. First things first. To begin you have to attach the thumb finger piece (I'll refer to it as triangle to shorten) to the glove using the hinge, as I show in some pictures above. You can also see it better in this video where I show you the gauntlet still in building process https://www.instagram.com/p/Czv4FeLq3N6/ . Now, how to stick it to the glove. I used again elastic bands (they are very useful). What I did is to glue a band to the back side of the triangle, but not making a ring, just sticking one side of the band and leaving the other side free. The band is about the thumb length long. Now, you have to sew the free side to the tip of the glove's thumb. You can also cut the band shorter and sew it at some point to the glove's thumb. Then when you put the fingerpieceAs sewn to the glove's thumb, you will put them above this elastic band, so it is going to get totally hided by the pieces. This way, the triangle is going to follow always the movement of your thumb, and because you are using an elastic band, you will have total free move without any rigidity or limitation ;)

Notice that each piece of the fingers has a tiny hole. I used it to pass a nylon thread through it, and attach it to the leather glove. For the hand pieces, i used the PLA filament to connect one to another. Just pass through the holes a small piece of filament, and then melt the filament ends.
Another way: it's easy to glue a elastic band at the bottom side of the finger pieces (or any piece), so you can make like some sort of ring with the band, stick it to the piece, and then place it in the right place in your glove.

Thanks for the response. I’ll have to try the thread way first and see how it goes!

NOW TOTALLY AVAILABLE INCLUDED WITHIN THE FILES!!!

It works very well printing them standing up, yes! I designed those pieces in such a way you wouldn't need any supports :)

I didn´t try to print them laying down flat actually, so maybe it works great too. But I think you'll need supports this way.
