Finger Pillory

thingiverse

This is a work in progress. I've included a picture of a medieval finger pillory to give an idea how this works. Better pics will come once I print this and have it modeled. The difference between this and a medieval finger pillory is that in this version the vertical knuckles are pressed against the opposite hand. Use quarter inch bolts to hold the two halves together. I once made a version of this out of wood that incorporated a collar where everything hinged from the back of the neck and only a single pin was needed to hold it closed. That was a very cool toy. I may mix this one with a collar later if I can make it fit the printer. Attachment points could also be fun. I've designed this to fit 2cm wide fingers by making the holes 2.25cm and connected. I've included the original blender file with the fingers ready to be binary extracted from the model so you can change the finger size. You could also print just one of these and bolt it to a flat surface like a wall, ceiling or floor. Or use both of them in that manner instead of attaching them to each other. Fixed STL files exporting at 1/10th size. Remember to check "use scene units" when exporting from blender. Why is that lever even there??? Or not... my stl models are perfectly sized when imported into Cura but 100x too small when other slicers are used. Weird, eh?
