HEMA finger armor version 1

thingiverse

This is my first prototype of a finger armor system. I've taken a close look at existing finger protection options and found them lacking - most gloves are too bulky, while thinner ones don't provide enough coverage. The plastic inserts I've seen only protect the tip of the finger, leaving the rest vulnerable. This is where my solution comes in - it's designed specifically for sparring situations, not competition use. I'm using ABS to print these units, which should offer better protection than what's currently available. The sizing is based on my own fingers, so your mileage may vary. Don't expect these to be foolproof, as this is just the first iteration - no guarantees are made about their effectiveness in protecting your fingers.
