Stack Splint for Mallet Finger Injury

thingiverse

Update 2016-10-28 I finally managed to get in to see a specialist about my finger. He made several recommendations on how to improve the splint. The finger tip should be slightly hyperextended, and the finger needs to be free at the second knuckle. Printing horizontally with supports resulted in a lot of cleanup with many rough surfaces. However, it printed well vertically without supports, except for a few layers at the top of the lower cutout. To resolve this issue, I added a dummy bottom so that when "Supports touching buildplate" is used, supports are only added for the lower cutout. Print vertically, 100% infill, Supports (Touching Buildplate) This design was created specifically for my right pinkie finger. You can scale it as needed or modify the 123D Design file to suit your requirements. Print Settings Printer Brand: Wanhao Printer: Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus Rafts: No Supports: Yes Infill: 100%
