Description
I needed a finglonger. Sometimes I don't wanna sit up in my chair just to type a few keys.
I was inspired by this https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2758697 but I needed something a little less flexible. I needed it to be both fun & functional (and not at all grotesque). I needed it to fit on a ½ inch wooden dowel.
I searched Thingiverse for a good looking finger to remix. I chose this one. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2034018 It's made to put on a ½ inch wooden dowel. It's a tight fit but TPU will stretch a little.
I used 20% cubic infill to get a rigid but semi-flexible finger so i could type from across the room.
.2mm layers (.3mm will do just fine)
support in the hole
Ninjatek Cheetah TPU
2 versions: less bend, more bend
I haven't decided yet which is best.
