Prosthetic Finger Development
This Wiki is for collecting information about variations that are currently being developed similar popular models such as the Knick Finger (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1340624), a spin off of this design made for those with one intact knuckle (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2840850), and the Owen Replacement Finger (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:157174). Other designs that have promising features to consider include the Prosthetic Finger https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2527421), the Talon Flextensor (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:413983) and the New Fingers for the Roth Hand (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:221560).

Hello All, We did another test to see how our variations the Knick Finger and the Middle Phalanx Amputation digits worked. All fit well, but now we are looking at the human part. The recipient’s middle finger tends to lag behind the other fingers and working together, he cannot actuate all the digits. We are now looking at combining a few digits into one. But, the designs previously posted looked good for what they did.
The next area of interest is making articulated fingers for people who have their digits but need help moving them. I have posted the design on Thingiverse, but the pictures are not showing up. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4218590
