3D model description

This device is intended to help wiring an Unlimbited Phoenix hand.

It will hold the pins at the exact distance needed to insure that the gauntlet and the hand will form a 30° angle once the pins are in the gauntlet tensioner, to make wiring easier.

It's provided in two versions: the plain one might be a bit too tight, especially because of the palm top being printed as bridge. If you can't fit it on the hand you are mounting, try the other one which is hollowed out so that it will fit easily (but you'll need to add supports to print it)

First run the unattached wire for the thumb through the hand, then the one for the index finger, then the one for the ring finger through the hand. Run them through this device and then clip it on the back edge of the hand, making sure the wire holes match the ones for the hand.
Knot the thumb wire to the first pin, and only then insert the pin into de device in the first slot (the one near the thumb). Make sure to push to the bottom into its slot.
Drive each two other wires through it's own pin, then back through the device into the hand, to the last two fingers (respectively middle and little fingers), and insert the pins into the device.

Knot the wires to the thumb and all 4 fingers keeping the wires tight.
Remove the pins from the device (you should need to fold the fingers for that) and put them in the gauntly tensioner. Attach the gauntlet to the hand, slide the tensioner in, and adjust with the pin screws.

Printed vertically as shown in the STL, you should need no support. I printed mines at 20% infill and 0.2mm layers.

Scale it like you scaled the hand.
Since it's tightly adjusted, the "ceiling" of the hand needs to be rather clean, so if you have a little hanging wire, make sure to post process so that you can clip the device.

Developed based on an idea by Thierry Oquidam (https://www.thingiverse.com/toquidam) from E-nable France, it's use is documented here:
