Enable Hand Project

Matt, Patrick & Tony

Introduction

The e-NABLE community of volunteers specialize in creating free 3D printed devices for children and adults who have wrists but no fingers or elbows with no wrists/hands.

e-NABLE: Global network of passionate volunteers using 3D printing to give the world a "Helping Hand."

UAlbany Informatics e-NABLE

Our Donor, Scott

The Plan

  • 4 Finger design
  • Not a huge chunk of plastic on Scott's hand
  • Unique slant through palm
  • Padding

Handomatic

"Hand-o-matic is a web site that lets you create 3D printable prosthetics custom to your measurements and selected options. The prosthetics are intended for use by people with a partial hand."

(Beta) Web Measuring Tool

Issues

  • Handomatic takes in only one Variable
  • One Size Fits All Measurements
  • Google + hangout
  • Luis INF professor helping with the new code allowing for multiple measurements

From there - 

we were given STL files to d/l

played in tinkercad with files

then team broke out to try blender and autodesk

3D Customization

Using the built in measuring tools, I was able to find the distance across the 3D model. The 3D print software has the ability to scale the size of the printed file down by a percentage 

Perhaps 10% (99mm) plus padding
