knuckle armor

thingiverse

Edit 1/15: Pics up. Notice I cut the knuckles in half, making a tight fist caused a crack to go down the center (PETG 99% infill). Good news is that the glue is permanent. I welded the knuckles together and cut with a Dremel. Glue used: DAP Weldwood 3 fl. oz., Original Contact Cement (in a glass jar). Steps: Apply glue to glove knuckle while wearing, saturate it, wear disposable gloves underneath. Apply glue to 3D knuckle. Let them dry first for 30 minutes or more! No more than 2 hours drying is crucial. Then line them up with the front of your knuckles and it's an instant bond. Gloves I used are $4 harbor freight, large mechanic gloves. Edit 1/14: Printed the 1st version. Scaling and knuckle ratio size all wrong. I printed a V2 which is scaled for a Large-medium hand and better fitting for gluing to a glove! I'll post pics of my glove shortly. I plan to connect this to some cheap mechanic glove, maybe use a flexible glue like Shoe Goo or something. I'll design some finger armor later on too. FYI, harbor freight has some really nice mechanic gloves for $4 on sale. Add some armor and you have a REAL nice tactical glove!
