Claws on Caps

thingiverse

#Short claws on finger cups D0 = thumb; D4 = Pinky; D2 would be the size of D1 thus it's omitted D0 -1: This cap is 1 mm too small for my finger; +1 too big, +-0 just right I printed the long nails from "Venom claws costume", but they are way too long for me and my fingers didn't fit well. ##To resize a cap in Blender: 0. Duplicate the source digit and rename it to "foobar open" 1. If your source digit is closed, open it by 1.a. Mesh Select Mode → Face (Ctrl Tab while editing) 1.b. select one face, then Select → Select Similar (Shift-G) → Co-Planar 1.c. Del → Limited Dissolve; then Del → Only faces 2. Add Modifier (Wrench icon) → Solidify → Thickn: (half of what you need in total) 3. Edit, Mesh Select Mode → Vertices, select the old rim, delete Vertices 4. Duplicate and rename to "foobar Cap" 5. Add modifier Solidify → Thickn 1 or -1 (look at the result, it should go outside) I applied the nails to the caps by Add Modifier → Boolean → Union → the_nail To move the nail, press "n" hovering the view window, enter a transformation value on the Y axis. Use the value from 2.a, negative for smaller, positive for bigger. Optionally duplicate it first, especially if you cut the interior as described below. If the nail (moved to the new position) intersects with the interior, you may need to cut that from the nail. 1. Duplicate "foobar open", rename to "foobar" 2. select the rim 3. press f, then Ctrl-T to close the shell 4. In edit mode, show the normals by Mesh Display (on the sidebar you opened by pressing "n") → Normals →(Third button). 5.a. Press Ctrl-N to align the outside. The normals should be hair on the outside 5.b. If it's not, press Ctrl-Shift-N to flip these 6. Leave edit nose, select your nail, add Modifier → Boolean → Difference → foobar If you add this nail, my blender version complains. I moved the cap in Y direction by 0.00001 to fix this.
