Clasp to wall

thingiverse

I modified the beautiful project Clasp for sticking it to a wall. The challenge lies in its complexity, which makes printing difficult, offering three viable options: 1) Print the entire hand vertically. This approach yields excellent skin quality but often results in collapsed support structures, necessitating the creation of custom cylinders to provide stability. 2) Print the full hand horizontally. While this option requires a lot of effort to detach support structures, it simplifies post-production processes like sanding, resulting in a smoother finish. 3) Divide the hand into two parts using Netfabb (files ClaspHand1 and ClaspHand2), print each part separately, then secure them with strong adhesives such as E6000. This method makes detaching support structures easy, particularly those obstructing the hole for electric wires. I reinforced the fracture line with "sugru pasta." The hand was coated with epoxy resin using XTC-3D. In picture 3 (blue hand printed in two parts), the fracture line is visible; in picture 4 (red hand printed as a single piece), the outcome appears better. To enhance the project, use a high-quality bulb holder and LED bulb, such as Philips Classic (refer to the pictures). When printing ClaspHand1, rotate it by 180 degrees. WallSupport1 and WallSupport2 are secured with E6000. WallSupport2 was printed in Laywood.
