Shapeways Bionicle Hands

The knuckle holes worked!! 😃

The fingers *will* come out if you try to remove them, but they don't yeet themselves across the room anymore if you look at them wrong.

Thankfully, the thumb socket worked fine as-is. I have no idea where I could've drilled slack holes for it 😅

The wrist sockets were also fine (first thing I tested), probably because they already *have* slack holes.

Slow but not forgotten

Just to prove this project is not dead, I thought I should post ‘something’. Starting to piece together the mechanics for the hand. Spent so much time working out the exterior cladding, but needed to make sure that we could still make it work. Everything here is to scaled to fit the design as had been templated in cardboard and foam. testing this first one before building the second in case there are some minor tweaks we want to make to functionality.

The Bionicle hands I ordered on Shapeways just arrived! I love the little box they came in, it's perfectly sized to be a minifigure jail cell:

Is there any way to get the parts out without breaking it open? The box is super cute!

Burberry accessories/ New Bond Street windows March 2014. Love the articulated hands and the gold detailing, there is a bold uniformity to the composition which really celebrates each piece. Simple, blocky colour-families and product grouping with a great use of repetition.
