ARTICULATED CLAW RING


Typically, articulated finger rings are made from metal, however those can be heavy to wear, the "tips" of the joints on the inside tend to dig into the fingers, and good quality articulated rings aren't cheap. This model is super-light (less than 5 gr), comfortable (all smooth inside), strong and flexible enough that you don't have to worry about accidentally damaging it, and easily paintable. The real challenge was finding the perfect clearance between parts for the joints, and insuring a reliable quality during the 3D printing process of the nylon powder it's made from.


I still have more plans for this particular design:

     - Differently proportioned versions adjusted to all 5 fingers.

     - Differently shaped design.
