Cable holder

Prosthetic arm designed for trans-radial amputees. Upper arm parts are still to come. Parts are very small, I recommend printing them at at least 180% maybe 240% for an adult. The finger joints can be printed on their sides, just make sure they are printed with the connecting male/female parts facing up in order to avoid needing any support structure. Finger 1 (*5) - first finger jointFinger 2 (*4) - second finger jointFinger 3 (*4) - third finger jointThumb 1 (*1) -&#xA0;first thumb jointThumb 2 (1*) -&#xA0;Second thumb joint Thread an elastic string (~6&quot;) Through the top of in each finger and down through the palm, tie it off tightly at both ends.Thread a strong and thin non-elastic string (~18&quot;) through the bottom set of holes. Tie it off at the finger tip (I usually tie it around the &#xA0;base of the elastic knot at the finger tip)Gorilla Glue (or some kind of strong glue like Rez n Bond) nub&#xA0;into upper arm&#xA0;and arm cup p1&#xA0;to&#xA0;arm cup p2Try to keep the tension as similar as possible and tie all the the strings around around nub&#xA0;with a little bit of tension (just enough that the fingers are very slightly bent) When you pull the plain strings (bend elbow) coming out of the base of the palm, the hand should close.--- UPDATE: I&apos;ve stopped threading regular string through the thumb (but still use elastic), it works better rigid ------ Fairing can replace arm cup p1 ---*number needed for full handPlease note, This arm is not extensively tested

Surface Pro Dock

Earring

This is a small wall mount for the iPad 3 / 4.

This can be best printed on his side, with just the quick print settings in Cura.

You can mount the wall mount on a standard 80 x 80 wall box where you normally would put a switch or electric socket.

A small gap is provided to route any cables.

The provided gcode file is for a Ultimaker 2. I used that on for the print shown on the photo.

Btw, the dashboard shown is from the Fibaro for iPad app.

Have fun and share your prints!

 Hope this will be of use to someone, one of my kitchen knives had broken its scales and I made this for it. I put it together with screws and nuts and some epoxy. I included the FreeCAD file for customization.
VERY IMPORTANT, REMEMBER TO MIRROR ONE OF THEM BEFORE SLICING!!!

 The identification of&#xA0;the subject of this bust is unclear though with the top-knotted hair, iconic of Hellenistic sculpture, and striking facial features it is suggestive of a Goddess. The bust could depict Venus, as the craning of the head&#xA0;echoes the shape of the Aphrodite of Knidos or even The Crouching Venus, though this female turns her head to the right.
The original sculpture&#xA0;from what this cast was made originates from The Staatliche Antikensammlungen und Glyptothek (ORIG1507) though no record of this has been found yet. The work was also apparently mentioned in Furtw&#xE4;ngler 1900, No. 234, though this covers&#xA0;carved gemstones.
