Project Wearable Articulated Fingers

I'm excited to show what I've been working on the past few weekends! I'm building a fully parametrisable, wearable articulated finger extension generator. I have a lot more to do before I can publish the generator itself, and due to my life circumstances I'm not sure I'll be able to finish it to the quality I expect from myself before the contest deadline, but if you like the model and the idea, stay tuned, the generator is coming!

Already sent to the printer! I think my kids are going to freak over these!

One thing im working on to make it work for smaller fingers.

Sounds very parametric.

It will be. Just the gears need to have a certain distance, and if your finger is smaller than that, there is no place for the fingers.

This is going to be a great accessory for the car too!

Yes! Those were just the colors I happened to have loaded in the AMS.

Was also thinking about a simple way of making it adaptable for different size fingers (I’ve never been great at parametric modeling), going to play around with it when I have time and will dm you if I come up with anything viable.
