Very cool! What exactly does that piece on the end do? Can you explain how it works?
Impressive work. It looks like there's a wire of some sort that pulls the finger tip down. I would love to see a video to see how it bends.

this is my facebook page everything I post is there. I have a video of my first model but not the latest one. I will try to get a vid up soon.
Hey thats nice! I could use one of those myself! I've been wanting to see about getting an X-finger or something similar for my middle finger. Do you share the STL files anywhere?
We just wrote an article about this. Thanks for Sharing Christian!

Thanks Eddie, that means a lot. :)
I am looking for something just like this for my husband, he lost a couple of his fingers to a grenade. Do you have your printable files available anywhere?
I know the campaing is over but theres anyway i can still help? I dont know if indiegogo allow money for Your campaing at the moment, if not Meabe i can help you with the improvement of the desing (is extremly well done already im impress) still, that kind of desings can help a lot to many others. Just my two cents. Cheers
ps: im an engineer with focuss on robótics but never got into the bussines (none market in México for this Stuff) im a little rústy at the moment but old havits never die.
Here's my new Gofundme campaign. http://www.gofundme.com/boifuc
I have a pretty similar injury, same finger, approximately same amount of lost finger. Accident happen two years ago and I still have a lot of stiffness and only 45 degree bend of the knuckle. Do you think something like this could help me? Great job by the way.
I will need to take alook at it and let you know. Email me some pictures of the injury and I will see if I can come up with something. jeeplvr2000@yahoo.com
There's is a few ways to get rid of stiffness and they all include flexing the finger through a full range of its movement. I have also been occasionally using lidocaine patches to help keep the swelling and stiffness down. Lots of movement works the best though to keep it loose.
hi - would you be able to send me your file for the finger? Im an artist and just cut off my left index finger 7 weeks ago on a table saw while in europe
a friend has a 3D printer and Id love to try your design... let me know if you want $ for it?
what on earth is a 'family' sex doll ?
The mind boggles.
Thats said. get some flesh coloured flexible pla and - yep should be able to make a new finger.
