Wrist Brace for Assistive Technology Challenge

thingiverse

This design can be used to help with letting a sprain heal to simple support issues and beyond. Printing: For this design you should probably print each side seperately to have enough space in your 3d printer to print the entire thing. (If you do have enough space then lucky you!) To achive maximum print quality lay the piece(s) on its/their back(s) and turn on supports so the model will have the best shape. Post-Printing: After printing you will need to make sure that the device can be secured to your hand/wrist effectively. While you could just use rubberbands, duct tape, or someting else this design was made specifically with velcro strips in mind (as the slots on the lower piece indicate) notacing that velco may be a pain for some people to get if anyone wants a design designed to be secured with duct tape or rubber bands or anything else (within reason please) just leave a comment saying what you want the modification to be and I will try to post a new one to those specifications asap. Also, I have done my best to make sure that there are no sharp points/ edges. But if there are any then either edit out the flaw or take some sandpaper to it (if it is less dramatic). Note: For this design to perform properly it will almost certainly need to be edited/ modified. This design is designed for a left hand and will need to be mirrored to fit a right hand. You will also probably need to print this several times (editing each time) to achive the best fit for your body. This design was made using SketchUp Make (free version) AssistiveTech
