Device ideas welcome, hi i'm working on case #1163 (together whith @Holly and @Marko). We are looking for a left hand device for a child with a working thumb and four (short) finger-stumbs (see photo [http://ibrieger.de/images/e-nable/received_287869582671893.jpeg](http://ibrieger.de/images/e-nable/received_287869582671893.jpeg)). It's similar to a case posted some days ago: [https://hub.e-nable.org/s/e-nable-forum/?contentId=42674](https://hub.e-nable.org/s/e-nable-forum/?contentId=42674). A thumbless design is needed, of course. The best existing device we've found so far is this *raptor reloaded extra*: [https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2840414](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2840414). We see two problems with all other existing thumbles designs (raptor, flexi and so on): 1. There is not enough space available for the remainig finger-stumbs of the receipients hand. Just extending the palm seems not to be very usable. 2. The receipient has working finger-stumbs and we would like to USE them. Another idea is to make a three- or four-finger knick-finger design, but the remaining finger stumbs are relatively short. I've set up a page to to collect/sum up information and ideas for this case here: [http://ibrieger.de/e-nable-hand-for-bashar.html](http://ibrieger.de/e-nable-hand-for-bashar.html). Ideas and comments are welcome. Greetings, Erwin
