C-3PO hand v2

thingiverse

I created improved versions of the hands that I printed for my first C-3PO costume by incorporating work from several other individuals to borrow some of the more detailed parts each had to offer. Gordon Tarpley's hand plates, which were derived from Don Post scans, significantly improved upon the originals but I really liked what Roel Veldhuyzen did to sharpen the edges and refine the details of the finger tips. I took his hand models, deleted low areas between finger plates, then thickened them to 1mm. I also added in TKCC71's knuckle projections to the hand plates so they could be printed all at one time. The hand pistons are models that I made by measuring some resin parts I received and just cutting them in half so they can print flat on the bed with the filament running the length of the part. The posts on the bottom should fit roughly into holes drilled at the indentations in Gordon's hand plates.
