Pro tip. This is /diy/. Its a slow board. Bump after 24 hours.

>>593583
Sorry man, thanks for the tip. I will wait.

Hey OP, do you mind if I ask what happened?

>>593585
No man, glad you did. Well, it started in 2008 when A couple of friend and I played a game called "Catch me" ( I have 21 years now ) and while I was running I had to jump a metal fence, but instead of just jumping I used my right hand to help me do it, on the ground there were little stones so I would slip. Then the fence was in a strange reversed " V " shape and I got my finger stuck between the two metals and while i was running it just ... ripped off. I was very skinny and was running as fast as I could applying force as well, and that's how it happened. Kinda sick and probably phony but, that's how it happend. I'll never have enough money to repair my finger so I'm trying to make one myself with the help of you guys ofc. A friend told me about this board :). thx for listening guys.

>>593580
Looks 3d-printed to me.

If you feel like making your own model, but don't want to buy a printer, I think there are companies who can print it for you.

>>593587
Please look at this man. tell me what do you think.

>>593586
Ouch dude. Im sorry that that happened to you. I hope there will be some sort of affordable fix for you in the future.

>>593588
thanks man. well I'm sure there is a way to fix it, after all it's just one phalanx. i guess there is a way to do it.

>>593589
Oh, metal. Yeah, harder to 3d-print ... :)

>>593593
well it doesn't bother me if it's made in plastic or something...just the working part, that's what interests me so I can use it. I'm a drawer and it's very annoying for me without that phalanx

I'd rather go with something low profile. I'd hate people to ask stupid questions

>>593602
you could always cast your other hand and make an exact replica of the finger, if you're close to VA I would be happy to help

something like this is usually relatively custom though is it not? or are both yours and his a removal at the joint or something similar?

>>593620
>http://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/EP2545886A1/imgf0003.png
thanks man, where did you find those schemes ?
I'm trying to make something out of plastic and rubber a bit on the thumbs so it won't be slippy .(like a real finger)

Seems pretty simple, you could make one yourself i am sure, but its probably worth contacting this guys company to see how much one of these would cost, it would certainly be more inconspicuous if it was 3d printed

>>593682
Well it just seems unfortunately...I'll post tomorrow some pictures of what I'm trying to do and the materials I have to let you guys see. Hope you could give me a hint or two

this is all that is going on in terms of how it functions though right?

>>593691
I think ya, But I also want to adjust it so It would have a good grip, a solid grip.

>>593586
Leave it to the French to do such stupid things.

>>593697
what do you mean ? haha. sorry I didn't get it man

Popsicle stick, duct tape.

You should join the police and be called RoboFinger: The Future of Law Enforcement.

I'm thinking you should focus your efforts on making a hidden blade instead

>>593840
>>593864
Ahahaha thanks guys but I don't want to kill people I just want my finger to be able to work the way mcduff did in that video, hehe . but thanks

>>593938
but i mean, why not add some functionality to your new finger?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/5mW-Red-Green-Purple-Laser-Pointer-Pen-Powerful-Beam-Light-Presentation-3-Color-/200811867690?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item2ec151ee2a
I mean just look at the prices. So Low. You can point like never before.

>>593956
haha! would add this one but first I have to make my prosthetic finger !

if you're really interested in doing this, you should try to get in contact with this guy.

in the news clip they said he's making these for other amputee victims as well and with you guys being in the same boat, I doubt he'll let money be an issue

>>594004
quick followup:

found his website with a quick google search

http://rcmenterprise.com/

>>594004
>>594005
I tried contacting him but no response... Nor the price of it or anything. I could do it myself if I had the "SCHEME" the "how to do it" ..

>>594044
I just don't understand the way it works so I can replicate it

Ok guys these are the tools I am using. and in that bag I have a bunch of plastics and metals and other finger shaped stuff, anything i could find ( also I have rubber , and wires) I have a drill and more to help me shapen out. What do you guys think ?

>>594054
I think you don't have any of the tools are materials necessary to build this. Rather you should just model the thing upload it here.
>http://www.shapeways.com/create?li=nav
And get it whenever. Hell I'm feeling nice I might even make the model for you. What is your ring size on the amputated finger?

>>594054
>>594220

Since I need the practice and this seems simple enough I'll go ahead and do this for you OP. I need these measurement from the equivalent good finger, preferably in imperial units.
>Fingernail A
>Distal Phalange B
>Medial Phalange C
>Proximal Phalange D
> Length from first joint to amputated end
>Diameter of amputated cup and finger base

>>593580
>>593586
Alright you dumb shit if you haven't already killed yourself I'm nearly done I'll need those measurements if I'm going to do anything else though.

>>594320

I like this guy

Go to WalMart. Buy a Barbie doll. Rip the legs off. E joy your new prosthetic.

(really, its a decent color and texture for how much it costs, and its easy to work with to put a joint in it. Carve it up, use both legs for one joint or however you want

>>593580
All you really need is a dremel and a block of cherry or American hornbeam wood and you can make your own easily. Bonus point if you install a vibrator in it.

ITT:

>>594320
That was fun.

>>594412
Kudos to you kind sir.
I sure hope OP comes back

>>594416
I think he's abandoned thread but it's whatever. I've got a spare now if anything happens to mine.

>>594412
Anyone else need a finger? If so I'll plate this into a printable .stl file.

>>594418
Can you upload the .stl please mate?
Im not OP, but I have a friend who lost his middle finger phalange in a band saw accident about 6 months ago.
I'll edit the file to fit his finger.
That would mean a lot.
I'l

>>594426
Sure thing, I'll end up doing it tomorrow or sometime over the weekend depending on how busy I am.

On a related note does anyone know of a better site than thingiverse to host files? I'll probably end up making an account there anyway but I can't get behind makerbot, the company is a cancer.

>>594412
nice! I can't believe 4chan is actually helping somebody. OP better wear this thing though

>>594418
hell, just post the solidworks files on GrabCad, so anyone can customize their own finger.

>>594431
GrabCad, Bre pettis can go fuck himself

It's like nobody here is even trying to help except one guy who just wants to do it himself.

OP, show us what's in that bag of junk you have, and I'll tell you if you can make a finger out of it.

I've been toying with the idea of making finger joints out of some sort of pipe/tubing or wood, but I haven't decided on the best mechanism, which would dictate the material. I also don't need a finger, so whatever.

>>594412
a bit of critique here, increase the wall thickness around the pin holes. Make the hole size slightly smaller than the pin you want to use where you want to keep the pin in place, increase hole size where you want it to move.

Now, if you are going to 3d print it with shape ways, use material only where you need it. Please do realize that with 3d printing complexity is free. Shapeways charges $$$ for material usage, so do whatever you can to keep costs down.

also keep features >1.5 mm for laser sintering

>>594220
Whoa! omfg, are you serious about this anon ?
>>594239
I will upload a picture of my hand aswell, I'll take the measures
>>594320
Lmaonade, I haven't killed myself yet lol, wasn't planning on doing it. sorry for the delay I had a lot of shit to do yesterday. Thanks man omg...you are really doing this O_O
>>594328
ya me too>>594333
not the best ideea but thx. lol>>594370
i'll try that
>>594412
omg...it's really working from what I see...you're good man. I didn't had the ideea..
.>>594416
ya sorry for my delay
>>594418
IT's not abandonet, i was just bussy guys...
>>594431
Dude you are amazing...
>>594439
Can't believe it either...i'm in shock

>>594439
> Bre pettis can go fuck himself
Amen!

This is the photo of my hand guys. It's pretty fucked up. and like I said. It's exactly like macduff's finger

>>594509
finger looks like benis
lel

>>594511
guess i have two benises , ahahaha

>>594509

just regrow that fucker
recut it
apply torgo's executive powder (this prevents scabs and scar tissue from forming and gives your own natural stem cells places to adhere to)
next day rinse and reapply the torgo powder
your finger knows how to grow back you just have to keep the scabs and scars from getting in the way

This sounds very interesting..but it's just for the muscle. I'm missing phalange, which is also a bone... :(

>>594702
it works on bone too
it's just a scaffold for cells to grow on
works with any cell type

finger was cut off including bone and past the fingernail, regrew perfectly, only difference is that fingernail now grows 3x faster than the other fingernails

>>594702

>>594704
>>594705
The joint was still intact there you dipshit. Op is missing his. It cant regrow the entire end just the tip, not to mention that it is an unobtainable treatment option anyhow.

>>594706

Your body knows what needs to go where, the scabbing/scarring shit blocks it from regrowing.

DIY bitch! This stuff aint rocket surgery, find a real butcher and get some fresh pig bladders the procedure to make it is easily available and simple enough that just about anyone could do it.

>>594704
>>594705
I am fascinated by this but I'm pretty sure for bone it works but not for the phalange, it's very hard for me to believe.
>>594706
this guy is right, I'm missing the first phalange.

>>594711
Is it really that simple ? I find it very hard , anon...I'm not a biologist or something... But I'm willing to learn if that would bring my finger back

>>594718
If you listen to him you deserve the infection that will result in the loss of your hand.

>>594720
No need to say that anon. Believe me, you don't know how it's like to lose something like that. I wish you luck and never to know the feeling, it's not a good one.

>>594730

OK did some quick research, the ny times showed the beginning of the procedure to prepare the bladders skip to about 1:18 for the procedure.

http://www.nytimes.com/video/health/research/100000001773152/

Also found a good procedure describing the detergent and process used for complete decellularization and sterilization that is used on tendons so it should work easily on bladers.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3664617/

The main ingredient is 2% sodium lauryl sulfate also called Sodium dodecyl sulfate and buffered with one molar concentration of Tris HCl. It was sterilized with ethanol.

The main procedure is rinse with ethanol apply detergent freeze and thaw repeat a few times.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/151200525075?lpid=82

http://www.etsy.com/listing/64151632/

Ethanol is called everclear and is available at your liquor store.

ECM differs slightly when collected from different parts but blader ecm is very neutral and has a good match with just about everything, the only real exception is hearts are typically injected with ecm that came from hearts.

just some good info on how ecm's magic works
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozlzPTH8ELs

>>594730
If your op I still need some measurements to work off of. I modeled it from my finger but I don't know if it'll work for you though.

Anyone know how I could make a better medial phalange cup design?

>>594758
I'm thinking that material like OPs pic would be better. Some kind of semi rigid plastic or maybe a combination of plastic and leather using the measurements and pivot points from your working design.
Though it sounded silly at the time, I wonder if material salvaged from a flexible doll would work as an anon suggested earlier.

Would you post some dimensions of the working points from your model when it's strait? A strait on side view with the finger strait would be fine too.

This has the potential to help lots of people. Open source prosthetic, brought to you by /diy/. Imagine if anyone with basic mechanical skills could make one of these from materials from walmart for $50 or less.

>>593580
Alright finished with it I believe. I went with a thin flexible strap in back so it could accommodate different sizes. The pins and strap can all be superglued in once this is printed. It should snap together alright. I'll be plating the parts so it can be printed in one go. Guess I'll upload the files on grabcad as well.

>>594877
It's about 2.75" long fully extended an an inch wide. Should weigh .02 pounds once printed and have a printed volume of .6 cubic inches.
Costs $16 if you choose to get it from shapeways, or some change if you print it yourself.

I feel like it needs a name. Also taking last few suggestions.

>>594888
Something seems off with the leverage and range. I think the motion is over amplified.

Looking at my own finger, the first knuckle has a full 90 degrees range. OPs second pic here >>594509 confirms this (~85deg)
The second joint roughly follows the first with slightly less bend.

On that model, the second joint angle seems about double the first. When the first joint is ~22.5deg, the second is at ~45 deg.
This would also mean more force would be required.
It should match the other fingers.

>>594756
Thank you so much anon for everything this is very useful stuff and I'm pretty sure it's a legit working method, just that I have to get all the mats you mentioned.
>>594758
Yes, op here! Yes I'm uploading the measurements now.
>>594877
I could design that with plastics, it's a rigid plastic indeed.
>>594888
Woah! it's amazing man, and it looks biomechanical ahahhaha, love it!

>>594669
At best this guy was an idiot, and it was possibly a scam (though I'm not sure if he tried to sell his miracle cure). There aren't really many clear photos of the finger before it supposedly regrew, but from what there is you can see that he only lost a very small part of the tip. The part where the nail matrix lies was still present, and presumably the nail simply got torn out, making him think he'd lost it entirely. He might have lost a small amount of bone, but I find it unlikely that the prop on an RC airplane would have cut through it. More likely it chipped an insubstantial amount off the end. And even if he did, he probably didn't need to regrow it to regain function of his finger.

OP, don't try this. You'd have to cut open the end of the residual finger, removing the flap of skin that was originally used to close it, and ensuring that you'll lose even more when this magical powder fails.

>>594888
>>594927
This anon is right.
I think you need to make the back part shorter, bringing the top pivot point closer to the hand. That should make the distal joint bend less. Or I might be wrong. Visualizing this without actually testing is difficult.

>>594888
>Costs $16

Shit, I may buy one of these just to play around with it.

Call it the Finger Banger

>>594758
Here are the measures. Made this graphic.

>>595036
Sorry, It's actually Diameter phalanges 1.
16,10 mm. at the first phalange. my bad , just woke up so bare with me plox

>>595032
Dunno what to say anon, i'm very confused in what to believe in , but ya, I value my hand , haha.

>>595032
I'll have to do some research on that

I'm sorry OP, you'll never fap again.
Get a fleshlight.

>>595028
The worst part is you need to remove the scar tissue. IE cut off your finger a little deeper. If you choose to go through with it please document it for us.

>>595032

It's legit shit and no he is not selling it. It's easy enough to make but unless you're a doctor or animal researcher you can't buy it, even if you could the only sources selling it would charge way too much. Just make it yourself. If I lost a finger I certainly would.

>>595032
torgo's executive powder is a similar substance from futurama, its made from the ground up bodies of box (fox) executives and is not a real product

When you bend your finger, muscles in the forearm are contracting and act like a pulley system:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexor_digitorum_profundus_muscle

In theory, if you could attach onto the tendons, you could replace the function. Your tendon will have been chopped but if you could attach a material onto the remaining part you could complete the 'pulley' system again.

You could use a spring so that when tension is no longer applied to the artificial tendon, it returns to a straightened position.

If you cut into the underside of your finger, the tendon will look like a thin glistening band. Staple it or something to the band that you will attach to your robot finger.

>>595062
This is a good idea, except that it requires having a permanent hole in your finger where the tendon or its replacement comes out. There do exist implants that anchor to bone and pass through the skin, used for securing prostheses, but infection is a problem.

It's also conceivable to expand the skin of the finger and implant replacement bones, to which the tendons could be attached. Joint replacements are sometimes performed in the fingers (I'll spare you the images), so there's no reason it's not possible.

Neither solution is an appropriate DIY project, obviously.

>>594927
You are correct about the over amplification problem it's just something that's hard to fix using a linkage. In the video the guy used a flexible coupler to pull the finger back so he wouldn't have this issue. See my problem is I need another linkage to give it the proper range but once I do that it becomes unconstrained, so it isn't an option. I'm going to experiment with different hinge designs and see if one works but it'll be a thing that will take a while and some thought. I the meantime I plan on having this up in a few hours or so.

>>595036
>>595039
Thanks been waiting on this, I'll adjust it to fit your size.

>>595062
>>595068
I've been wondering about this for some time. If there was some way you could get an attachment to the tendons themselves that would be the way to go. The majority of the actuators for your hand are indeed in the forearm so you could potentially get the whole hand lobbed off and make a decent replacement if you had that access.

I've been working on a hand for a android project that works on the same principles as the human hand. I suppose it could be easily used for the above purpose.

You should be able to figure it out from this video

1) Watch the entire thing so you know how the finger moves
2) Look at how its attached to his finger at this time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=A-sxvAuvO9I#t=49

if you're wondering what materials, id suggest you use coat hanger wire+lead free solder(to get the design right), then upgrade to plastic

If someone could tell me what software hes using that'd be really helpful as i'm looking for some 3d modeling software so I can manufacture some stuff. Stress testing would be super nice if it had that feature

>>594320
What software are you using?

>>595151
Looks like Solidworks. No idea about the version.

>>593593
Shapeways.com allows for metal printing. It's not exactly as strong as you'd usually expect metals to be, but it'll certainly be stronger than bones.

>>595119
No man, Thank you for doing what you are doing, it means a lot, it brings a lot of hope in this project. I'm sure it will come in handy to other lurkers around here as well. Thank you man, can't wait to see it work as well. I will post the prototype tomorrow on what I've done so far, based on what you've done in that gif.
>>595168
Metal means also heavy , I don't know what to say, anon, basically I'll make it out of a solid plastic, will deliver pics tomorrow!

Several years ago I sculpted a hand with jointed fingers. I used roller chain links. In picrelated they're covered in wax, which was later cast in aluminum. I don't have any photos of that unfortunately.

I don't know if this helps, but you can pick up these links at a hardware store. You'd only need one, and some sort of socket for your finger, for example a piece of PVC pipe or, or melted plastic. You could just drill a hole through it and link the piece of chain to the front to create the joint. Then if you attach two cords (one for the top and one for the bottom to the front of the end joint and thread it through to the other side, of the joint (crossing over), you can anchor that to the first segment (say with a ring), and get the same effect.

I probably explained that badly, but maybe it gives you an idea if you still want to DIY something simple while you wait for your 3D printed finger.

Alright really finished this time. I meant to do it this morning but didn't have the time till now.

I uploaded all the .stl files here

Fixed the amplification issues it should have a realistic range now. I forgot that I could make flexible parts.

>>595151
Solidworks 2013 64 bit, it includes a full simulation suite and you can get a free copy as a student.

>>595039
You gave me some odd measurements but I made them work. Your total finger length was less than that of the two phalanges put together.

If you get this printed from shapeways with shipping it should be around $25
Also, get something like this to coat the distal phalange
>www.plastidip.com/home_solutions/Plasti_Dip
You'll also need some superglue or acetone to fasten the ends of the pins in place. I'd also suggest putting on fake nails at the bed of the finger as it'd let you get a better grip on stuff.

Enjoy the superior American engineering frenchie. I demand you make a new thread when it's finished.

>>595505
>you can get a free copy as a student.

I think you're misinformed the website says its $150 for a one year student license. I've looked into it a few times. I have access at work and in the lab at school but I would love to have it at home but I don't have $150 worth of want. If I'm wrong then please tell me how to get it.

https://store.solidworks.com/studentstore/default.php

BTW military veterans who are students can get it for $20/year.

https://store.solidworks.com/veterans/default.php

>>595532
I got 20 activation keys by sending them an email explaining that I was a student on a design team. I guess it isn't free for students but you can still get free copies for things like that. It's worth pirating if nothing else.

>>595677
20 keys (^_^)

can you spare one?

>>595686
No it's strictly for team use. Just pirate a copy you have less bullshit to deal with that way anyhow.

>>595697
You have microsoft academic alliance at your institution?

>>595505
Thank you so much for this, anon. You helped me a lot. This looks amazing!
As soon as I'll find a 3d printing company in my country I'll print it out.

>>595393
This is a good idea as well, I will try this, thank you! Thank you all so much

i'll be getting a 3d printer by the end of next week; if you're interested i could do a testprint; germanfag here btw, where ya from op?

>>596180
sure anon. I'm from romania , how much did you spend on that ?

>>596272
+700€ mendel i3 3d printer

>>596281
>mendel i3 3d printer
it's a very good price for a 3d printer

I would like to do this as well. I have a Buddy missing a thumb...just a lil stub is left. stamping/press accident. I have a printer and access to CNC machines.

>>596309
me again I will print and ship for you.
contact me via kik: david310665

I will just charge shipping. all for helping a /diy/nosaur out.

>>596312
thank you anon that is very nice of you but i don't know what kik is , from what i've googled it's a messenger for smartphones, i don't have one :(. is skype alright ? or other ym

There sure are a lot of people on /diy/ missing bits of their hands

>>596328
yes but it can be repaired anon, don't worry. I'll make mine!

Giving a bump I'm printing this out will post results in the next few days.

>>596315
have a froend contact hom for yoh then

I experimented with this paper model and these pivot points are pretty close to mimicking my actual finger in range and motion.

>>597776
holy shit thats awesome.. is this solidworks?

>>597854
Yessir indeed it is. 2013 version, it's a pretty handy little suite has some nice features and is quite fast for prototyping I use it cause I got it for free, probably wouldn't otherwise.

>>593580
Bump because page 10 and I like this thread and I want to see if op gets his cyborg finger or grows one out of pig parts.

>>599519
I think he can definitely get this done if he's serious - there's no electronics/mechanisms like servos required since most of his finger is still there. Would be really neat to see the whole thing work out.

...could I get some of these for my fingers even if I'm not missing them?

>>599700
Yes, adapting your fingers to accept them will only take seconds.

Op here. Still working on my finger design will post pictures with what i've done so far!

OP; you have a permanent reverse shocker... Why would you want to change that?

Posting in epic bread. Make this happen /diy/

Printed it out, it's not working quite as well as I'd hoped there are some things that I can see need improvement. Although overall It's quite a bit stouter than I thought it would be.
The pins didn't print so I had to make do with a few penny nails I had laying around. I'll try and fix that if I can.
I think I'm going to try and design one with a rigid mechanism, since the flexible one tends to be slow about returning the finger to it's starting position.

It's more or less functional but I have no use for it. I'm not sure of the merits of extending the fingers I already have.

>>600016
I'm not quite sure what's going on in your picture it looks neat though.

OP, how goes your quest for a printer in Romania?

This thread was a good read. Extremely heartwarming, clever engineering. Color me impressed, /diy/nosaurs.

>>600402

Good man, i like it like your idea :D

If you don't want to waste too much time & money with the 3D modeling/printing/fuck up and redo route, you could go the cheap & simple way and build a prototype out of low temperature Thermoplastic using basic tools you have at home.

When you find the best design, then get it made out of something more longer lasting.

PolyMorph or Friendly Plastic (£1.65 per 100 grams (95cc) off eBay)

Have some inspiration guys.

bump, OP still around?

>>593580
OP, here's the deal. I can 3d print a relatively small thing for free, so follow these directions to make up a blueprint ready for the machine (http://www.dreams.me.vt.edu/dreamvendor/)) and I'll print that shit for you. Then we can work out how the hell to mail it.

>requires a good computer

Lol no, only requires a non shit computer.

At work I still have a 64 bit XP computer running it 4 gigs or ram dual core lithium CPU, gpu of that age. Running solid works 2013 no problemo.

My only problem with that is XP only supports 2 gigs of ram

>>605357
64 bit extends that in later Windows so I assume it make it go to 4 for XP

Lurked this thread weeks ago and thought the concept was neat. Awesome to see it actually be created.
This is one of the coolest things I've seen on the internet in a long time. I'm impressed guys, keep up the good work.
My faith in humanity is restored.

>>605357
32 bit it's 3.4 gb of ram, 4 gb physical but some is carved out for video even if you have a real video card... wtfizzle microsoft

They had ways of supporting more ram; 64 gb was supported in 32 bit version of windows 2003 enterprise and data center.

64 bit version of xp supports 128 gb of ram but good luck finding signed drivers for anything

I think OP died.

I've been doing a lot of research in this area the last couple years since I fukd my hand/arm
Working on a more permanent fix.

Anon with a 3-d printer here, since the other anon did all the work i'll print it for you.

You can use a gummifinger to do the join between wood and metal structure.

Maybe you can use small and strong magnets

>I need solidworks. How get?
Pirate it.

SolidWorks doesn't care if students or hobbyists pirate their software as long as you don't use it to make money. Once you use that pirated copy to make a profit then they'll come after you (but even then they won't sue you, only force you to pay for every copy you pirated, which is fair)

They allow this because you're familiarizing yourself with their software and you probably can't afford it anyway. If sometime in the future you decide to buy a 3D modeling software you're probably going to buy theirs.

Source: SolidWorks vendor I talked with

In 1966, before forming Black Sabbath, guitarist Tony Iommi suffered an accident while working in a sheet metal factory, losing the tips of two fingers on his right hand. Iommi almost gave up music, but was urged by the factory manager to listen to Django Reinhardt, a jazz guitarist who lost the use of two fingers.[151] Inspired by Reinhardt, Iommi created two thimbles made of plastic and leather to cap off his missing fingertips. The guitarist began using lighter strings, and detuning his guitar, to better grip the strings with his prosthesis.

I seen him a recently and his current prosthesis looked like it was glued on.

An article waaayyy back, some prostesis manufacturers were taking the legs from posable Barbie dolls (Yes that specific brand name), and using as articulated fingers in the hands.
The ratchet in the joint allowed the individual fingers to be bent to the shape for the task at 'hand' (pun intended).

Is this the type of thing your looking for? find someone with a 3d printer.

Can I ask why you guys aren't actively producing patents for prosthetics?

This thread man. This thread is glorious.
