Ed Driesen commented agoHey, nice! Sometimes i't the small things. Have you tried printing it in clear filament like the XTclear ? It's more discrete that way!
Ruckus commented agoCertain medical conditions can cause ones fingers to start closing automatically. If it isnt corrected, they can eventually degrade and close into a fist permanently.
This helps prevent that.
I designed this for a family member that was paying $3 - $4 a piece for a similar design.
Ed Driesen commented agoJust out of curiosity; Why?
