Transformers Animated TFA Shockwave Finger Claws

thingiverse

Since I made these TFA Shockwave finger claws for a cosplay, I thought I'd share them with all of you! He has three fingers on each hand, so your index and middle finger fit into one claw, and your ringfinger and pinky into another. If you're wondering, no it doesn't hurt and it wasn't too uncomfortable, at least for me. Sorry for the bad pictures, I only had one day to take photos and the sun had already set. I modelled these in Blender! I might go back and fix the files for the main fingers though because they are non-manifold, however you can still print them! I just slapped them into Cura and it was all good. Right now, the models are sized for my fingers (ring size 8 for my index finger/middle finger and thumb, ring size 7 for my ringfinger/pinky) but mine ran a little large. Sadly I can't tell you how to size them correctly, I used the measure tool in blender (not recommended). I printed them by rotating the model to 60°; 75° for the thumb, so they were standing straight up, tips at the top. Though, the printer messed up the tips a little bit, I just used epoxy clay to fix it. Filament was PLA, Printer settings were standard Cura PLA settings (With supports for 50° angles and over) print time was around 8 hours for the longer claws, 5 hours for the thumb. If you need any help I'll respond faster on Instagram, but otherwise I'll try to reply to any comments here.
