Robot Hand Foam Armor

thingiverse

As long as the length of the box is one inch, it should print just fine. I converted it to DXF, laser-cut the black lines, and engraved the red using that format. You can also do this by hand if you prefer. To get started, I used 2mm high-density foam, which worked out really well for this project. Next, I applied several layers of white plasti dip to the foam before painting it with acrylic paint. After that, I heat-shaped the foam around my fingers and then attached it to a biking glove using glue. Be sure to use hot glue - fabric glue will give you a much neater result. I also made some modifications to the template to get a better fit on my hand. Before you start printing, be sure to check how well the paper fits your hand. You might need to resize it slightly, but with average-sized hands like mine, this design should work out just fine.
