This model requires flexible filament (TPU) for the hinge parts of the fingers (finger01_flex.stl). The other parts can be printed with non-flexible material.
These 3d models were made to build a controllable hand (the ends of the Bowden cables that articulate the fingers can be pulled by hand or with a servo motor) for one of my puppets (my puppets are ca. 1m tall). They can be rescaled for more miniature puppets or robots (the version in the photo was rescaled to 47.5%).
The Bowden cables are self-made - I used PTFE tubes with braided stainless steel wire inside.
