This glove dryer accelerates the glove-drying process by circulating air inside the glove.  In my testing, a damp glove that took approximately 12 hours to dry without any air circulation dried in less than 3 hours with air circulation.  In addition, the faster drying and air circulation reduced odours in the glove as well.  

The glove dryer is snapped together and requires no fasteners or other hardware other than a 6015 blower-style fan.  I used a USB-powered model (linked below), but I suspect any 6015 blower fan will work since they are generally standardized in size.  If you have 6015 that does not fit, please let me know.

**Print Settings**

I designed this for PLA but I suspect it will work well with PETG as well.  The design is intended to be printed with a 0.4mm nozzle and 0.2mm layer height.  All required support is included in the design.  However, the Palm, which prints upright, may require a bring depending on your printer (I needed a brim to print it reliably).  
  
For the best results, use these settings:
Material = PLA
Nozzle = 0.4mm
Layer Height = 0.2mm
Line Width = 0.4mm
Wall Count = 4 (1.6mm)
Top and Bottom Layer Count = 5
Detect Thin Walls = ON
Wall Generator = Arachne
Infill = 40% (Cubic)
Ironing = Not required
Brim = No, except for Palm - add if needed. 
Support = No, all required support is incorporated into the design.
Print orientation = As per the STL/3MF files.

Alien Articulated Fingers disguise your four fingers into two to complete the three fingered look. Can be used for Dragon ,dinosaur or alien cosplay hands. Fingers can be secured to the hand via the new back plate which uses quarter inch elastic bands and clips to make the gloves easy to remove. You can thread the elastic through the new buckles or just simply super glue them back over themselves once they're sized.
These claws are designed for a mid-large hand, one size fits MOST.  You may need to pad the inside for smaller hands.

This pattern is for a pair of short fingerless gloves. This 3D printed model will require some basic sewing skills. There are three sizes - Small (13cm at wrist), medium (18cm at wrist), and large (21cm at wrist). There will also be some variation depending on what mesh fabric you print on, in addition to what fabric you use as the lining. I prefer using this superfine 4 way powermesh found on amazon - https://a.co/d/dTW0w4M

The 3mf file contains settings and all three sizes. If you'd like to download a single size, make sure to get both side 1 and side 2. This model is .72mm tall. Print this at .24mm layer height with a .4mm nozzle. I print at 35mm/s for the first layer, and 50mm/s per second on the other two layers. If you are using a thicker mesh fabric, use a larger layer height to avoid the snagging of fabric.

I use a magnetic PFLAT sheet found at www.kaizen3dprints.com but you can also use a textured build plate if you'd like, or other sticker print plate variations.

The pause command is entered at layer two, where your fabric and magnets are placed and a little tension on the fabric is applied. The print resumes and will finish after layer 3. Remove side 1 of your size, and reprint side 2. These are simply mirror copies of each other.

Once both prints are finished, find a base fabric of your choosing (velvet, satin, stretch denim, velour etc) and cut a matching piece leaving around 1/2" of seam allowance. Pin the 3d printed mesh on top. Sew a straight stitch with a zipper foot all the way around side 1, fully attaching the lining and 3d printed mesh together. Sew as close to the 3d printed material as you can.  Repeat for side 2. Line up both sides, right sides together (3d printed sides facing each other) and pin both sides together, preparing for a zig zag stitch. Using a zig zag stitch to increase the gloves flexibility, sew the sides and the small portion between your thumb and fingers. Trim away the excess fabric outside of the zig zag stitch. Leave the top, bottom, and thumb holes. You can either create a small hem for these three areas, or trim them off directly adjacent to your straight stitch. Fold the glove right side out, and enjoy your hard work! If you'd like a set of gloves, simply repeat this process!
