Assembly Video Included https://youtu.be/hsUhI70vuCc
PLEASE READ BEFORE DOWNLOADING: Please check out the assembly video before you download to make sure you are up to the task. There are two different pre scaled files for general sizing that you will need to add supports to. These claws are designed for a mid-large hand, one size fits MOST. You may need to pad the inside for smaller hands. Claws have been test printed scaled down to 80 percent and up to 110 percent. Assembly video included. There is an optional harness that can be printed and used with any 3/8 in elastic for a more custom fit. An easy way to check the sizing is by scaling and printing only the bottom ring file until it fits around your finger. Once your finger/thumb size is correct print the full assembly file in that scale. This will help determine the correct sale for your hand.

They look amazing. Thank you so much for posting.
Amazing! Jack Skellington costumes gonna be lit!
I am considering printing this in DPA to get the bone color and higher fidelity in the print texture. Any concerns you could think of with changing material type? i.e. material strength for the mechanisms or rub from the more sandy-like texture? I know DPA won't melt like the PLA for the joints so I'm considering alternatives atm. I also have extremely small hands so I'll be printing at 80% scaled and will likely still need cushions as the diameter of my index finger is only 3/4 of an inch when flexed.
I have also considered printing the fingers preassembled with the joints and mechanisms as I wouldn't need support material like you need in SLA. But will need to look into tolerances on clearance between the parts so they don't mistakenly weld together during print. Any advice is more than welcome. Thank you for the cool print file!
Unfortunately I think the tolerance is might be too small especially scaled down to 80% to print them preassembled.
Heard, good thinking with the minimal tolerances at a scaled downsize.
I would try test printing at home with a cheaper material to get the size correct. If you have the means. Then I would probably set up a full plate at the correct scale for your work printer. And try and fit as many as you possibly can in one go.
I'm not familiar with DPA .Is that some sort of resin? If it is I would imagine it's going to be more unwieldy on your fingers as it's probably going to end up being very heavy, compared to a PLA or PETG. If you have the means I would recommend printing test sizes in a pla to get it correct first. Test Printing and resin becomes expensive very quick
Sorry "DPA" is likely just lingo used within my job, it's more accurately called DuraForm® ProX PA. It is a nylon material created with an SLS machine, which is why I wouldn't have a need for the supports since it is made in a cake and then dusted out. It's a pretty light weight material so I'm not concerned about the weight. I have limited access to the machines so I'm trying to limit the number of test prints but one maybe ultimately necessary if I can get away with more than one print.
For the little finger, should anything in particular be done?
I would test print the ring portion of the fingers in all different scales in your slicer to see which one best fits your finger before proceeding the print full bed. Also if they're a little oversized you can always use a one-sided sticky foam to help pad the inside to better fit your hands.
Hi there, I have now printed and assembled all the fingers. Ive ordered the elastic to make the harness. Can you show how the elastic connects to the fingers as it isnt obvious to me. Maybe im stupid, but I was expecting a loop or something but it seems their is no spot to tie it off.
Okay I am an idiot that likes to watch videos without sound on. Have now re-watched and can have noted that they are glued. Thanks for the great design. will post my own photos when completed.
On the files that are a full hand which ones are which? None of them are labled so if its possible would you let us know so if we need to resize we can see which ones are for which finger? Also can we get a tutorial for how you put the wrist straps togeather? Thanks!
There are two types or files that you use to scale. Skeleton finger full and skeleton thumb full. Those are the files you used to scale to your personal sizes. The ones that say full hand small and full hand big. Are preset hands sizes for slicers that use 3mf files. As far as which hand is which it doesn't matter it matters how you put them together when assembling you just reverse them. I will be releasing a full tutorial on how to do the harness. But I do have an overview on tic tok
