Description

This is a finger splint designed for people who have pain in their hands due to hypermobility, arthritis, etc. It can help stabilize PIP and DIP joints.

How to Scale to your Ring Size

This base ring design has an inner diameter of 14mm, approximately a US size 3. To scale to your size, first find the ring size of your knuckle, then find the inner diameter measurement of that ring size in millimeters. Divide that number by 14. It should be a number between 0 and 2. Finally, scale the model by that number or percentage.

If you need to find your ring size, here is a free printable (paper) ring sizer: https://www.macys.com/media/ring_sizer/ring_sizer.pdf

If you need to find the inner diameter of your ring size, there is a chart in the other files.

I have printed as small as a US size 1 and up to a US size 10 with good success.

I filled the bed with these at different percentages, rather than fiddle with a ruler - the right fit actually made my fingertip turn blue (because of where the pressure was relative to my fracture) I brought your STL down and stretched it longitudinaly in Fusion. That flattened out the supports as you see in photo and is now just the cat's ass! Thanks! I'm new here and out of boosts and don't know how to get more!

@LVTZ

it is much improved, do you have the file? thank you very much

Replying to @LVTZ :

I don't know about improved, it just suits my situation better, I can't seem to upload the OBJ or STL to this message. I'm new on here if you have any suggestion I'm all ears.

@LVTZ

I am new too... I don't know how to do it... thanks anyway!!

Is it releasing from your plate mid print?

@user_3743037092

Replying to @rheaveljr :

first time it did that, came free. second and third time I increase support and did 2 layers around the base. its like it missed a layer (not saying it did or does) and kept squirting. I haven't had time to mess with it. one factor might be I enlarged it to a size 11 to fit my finger. except the third one I did not enlarge it to see it it would print but sadly no. hope this is helpful

I can never ever understand why someone rates a model (or product on amazon) negatively due to user error. Learn to 3d print. Don't expect the model creator to hold your hand on this. Also, notice that this is FREE and many others figured out how to print it.

Printed one for my early stage trigger thumb, and it helps! Thank you so much! For others interested, use the Bambu Studio to get a rough dimension for the opening. Then measure your finger diameter, and scale the model accordingly. Keep the length of the splint fixed. a slightly wider opening will be more comfortable and still seeve it's purpose

These are great! I printed 3 for my MIL when the $70 one from the doctor broke 😅

They Print marvelously even on a pey bed with no supports printed at 75%, 85% and 100% to check for sizing printed in poly maker dual colour green/brown . I used my own profile as I prefer to just download the stl files and print them that way I find I get much better results. And if you have ever used a PEY bed you'll know exactly what I mean first layer is crucial for a successful print . Thanks for the fantastic model my wife loves them . Sorry I'm new to the app but not 3d printing, I couldn't actually find where to rate it if you can help me do that I'd be happy to rate it 5 stars 👍 it deserves a 10
