Webbed hand

myminifactory

This is a webbed hand customizer to create a webbed hand for swimming. It functions like a swim paddle but printed in TPU it remains flexible and allows you to use your hands to grab the ladder to exit the pool or handle a ball while playing water polo. You can set the hand shape and webbing in different thicknesses, but I would print the hand shape at 1.5 or 2mm thick as this gives a bit of rigidity to the model. There is a video with a description of how to set it up and one showing an example creating a new one. It's pretty easy, probably taking around 10 minutes to set it up, maybe a print test to set the finger rings properly dimensioned and located and it's done.... The rings are a bit difficult to print very thin, so I would make them 2mm thick unless your printer is very good at bridging very thin parts. I will probably modify the rings when I get a better idea... This is a little description of the parameters: https://youtu.be/QVWNUdURZ48 A video describing how to define your hand's points is here: https://youtu.be/rdCr2Y8ZUlg And another showing how to fill in the parameters is this one: https://youtu.be/dj32LiaDuKs I have created these links where you can find all common filaments and spare parts at the best prices. These are just links to selected eBay and Aliexpress items, where I normally buy spare parts and materials for my printer, prices are excellent and products are good. If you buy something from here you will support me a little bit to make these projects. 1Kg PLA Filament - eBay 1Kg ABS Filament - eBay 1Kg TPU Filament - eBay 1Kg PET Filament - eBay Complete extruders - eBay Heat blocks and heaters - Aliexpress Standard nozzles - eBay Standard nozzles - Aliexpress Volcano nozzles - eBay Volcano nozzles - Aliexpress GT2 pulleys - eBay GT2 pulleys - Aliexpress GT2 belts - eBay GT2 belts - Aliexpress Linear bearings LM series - eBay Linear bearings LM series - Aliexpress NEMA 17 step motors - eBay NEMA 17 step motors - Aliexpress 3d pen - eBay 100$-200$ 3D printers - eBay 100$-200$ 3D printers - Aliexpress 200$-300$ 3D printers - eBay 200$-300$ 3D printers - Aliexpress 300$-500$ 3D printers - eBay 300$-500$ 3D printers - Aliexpress 500$-1000$ 3D printers - eBay 500$-1000$ 3D printers - Aliexpress 1000$-2000$ 3D printers - eBay 1000$-2000$ 3D printers - Aliexpress 2000$ - 5000$ 3D printers - eBay 2000$-5000$ 3D printers - Aliexpress Filament extruding machine - eBay Filament extruding machine - Aliexpress Pellets for extruding machine Aliexpress Coupon
