A gauntlet that's designed to be thermoformed rather than being printed in its finished shape. A video describing how to thermoform a gauntlet is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BihhKHjguZY . This design has one row of twin slots on each side. Thermoformed gauntlets are considered superior to the original fully 3D printed versions for the following reasons: They use less filament They're stronger, especially around the hinge which is noticeably weak in the original design They're lighter They're quicker to print They can be adjusted to better fit the recipient This was derived from an original design by Andreas Bastian of the Enable Community Foundation. The build files for all the e-NABLE hand and arm designs are available at http://www.enablecommunityfoundation.org/designs/ Note: The original STL file was the wrong version.
