Arthrostic: your fully parametric, artistic finger splint

prusaprinters

<p>When you suffer from arthrosis, like myself, a finger splint can bring some relief. But most splints in the market are ugly, stupid and way overpriced. Also: they come only in standard sizes and are far from comfortable.</p><p>So I decided to design my own finger splint. One that would make me feel proud wearing it, instead of trying to hide it.</p><p>I print them in transparent PETG. Some sanding and polishing gives it a beautiful look. Don't use PLA: it will break.</p><p>Attached you find some exempels of splints I made for myself and others. Please feel free to use the FreeCAD-file to create one that fits your personal preferences.</p><p>=&gt; You only need to change the values in the Variables table, the splint will change accordingly. Just fiddle around and see what happens. Messed up the file? No problem: throw it away and download it again.</p><p>Print instruction:</p><ul><li>Print with PETG or any other strong filament, 100% infill</li><li>Print with the two legs to the bed</li><li>Use ample supports</li></ul><p>Have any questions or remarks? Feel free to ask.</p><p>Happy with the result? Feel free to shout it around.</p><p>Happy Splinting!</p>
