Finger Pillory

thingiverse

This is still a work in progress, and I've included an image of a medieval finger pillory to give you an idea of how it works. Better images will come once I print this and have it modeled. The main difference between this design and a traditional medieval finger pillory lies in the fact that in this version, the vertical knuckles are pressed against the opposite hand. To assemble the two halves, use quarter inch bolts. I've previously created a wooden version of this device, incorporating a collar where everything hinges from the back of the neck and only a single pin is required to keep it closed - that was a very cool toy indeed. If possible, I may combine this design with a collar later on, provided it fits within the printer's limitations. Attachment points could also be an interesting addition. I've designed this device to fit 2cm wide fingers by making the holes 2.25cm and connected in that manner. The original Blender file is included, featuring the fingers ready for binary extraction from the model so you can modify the finger size as desired.\r\n\r\nYou could also print just one of these devices and bolt it to a flat surface such as a wall, ceiling or floor. Alternatively, use both of them in that manner instead of attaching them to each other.\r\n\r\nFixed STL files exporting at 1/10th their original size. Don't forget to check "use scene units" when exporting from Blender. I'm curious - why is that lever even there?\r\n\r\nOr not, as it seems my STL models are perfectly sized when imported into Cura but 100 times too small when used with other slicers. That's quite puzzling, isn't it?
