Introduction

This is a device that clips onto the palm of the hand. To use this design, the user must have a palm large enough to mount the device and a functioning hand to attach and detach the toolkit.The E-nabled Hand Clip design consists of one main body clip and three 1st Ver. Toolkits.

  1. Measure the thickness of your hand at your purlicue in milimeter. Divide this number by 24, this is the printing scale for all the parts you would like to set.
    • Measure the thickness of your hand at your purlicue in milimeter.

    • Divide this number by 24, this is the printing scale for all the parts you would like to set.

    • For example, my purlicue is 28 mm in thickness, so in the following steps, I will print all the parts in (28/24) = 117% scale.

  2. In this step, we will modify the overall print settings for the CAM software. In this guideline, all the instructions are for PrusaSlicer. Select 0.20mm SPEED for Print settings; select Prusament PETG for Filament; select 50% for Infill; uncheck Brim. Change the support type to Organic. This is in the 0.20mm SPEED preset -> Support material -> Options for support material and raft -> Style.

    • Select 0.20mm SPEED for Print settings; select Prusament PETG for Filament; select 50% for Infill; uncheck Brim.

    • Change the support type to Organic. This is in the 0.20mm SPEED preset -> Support material -> Options for support material and raft -> Style.

    • If your calculated scale is not 100% n Step 1, click on the model in the bar on the right. Insert your calculated scale in Scale factors.

    • If not specified, this print setting will be used by default in subsequent sections of this guideline.

  3. Download the model file for the E-nabled Hand Clip. Import the file to PrusaSlicer. One side of the model should lie on the build plate. If not, change the print orientation as shown in image 1.

    • This is an optional step. If you are using a customized toolkit, jump to Step 7.

    • Download the model files for 1st Bottle Opener.

    • Import the file to PrusaSlicer.

    • The nut side should lie on the build plate. If not, change the print orientation as shown in image 1.

    • In the bar on the left, use Paint-on supports function to paint support areas inside the nut part, as shown in image 2. Then, select For support enforces only for Supports.

    • Click Slice now. If set up correctly, you should see the similar support result shown in image 3.

  5. This is an optional step. If you are using a customized toolkit, jump to Step 7. Download the model files for 1st Pen Holder. Import the file to PrusaSlicer.
    • This is an optional step. If you are using a customized toolkit, jump to Step 7.

    • Download the model files for 1st Pen Holder.

    • Import the file to PrusaSlicer.

    • The model should be oriented same as shown in image 1. If not, change the print orientation.

    • Use Paint-on supports function to paint support areas inside the nut part, as shown in image 2. Then, select For support enforces only for Supports; select Prusament PLA for Filament.

    • Click Slice now. If set up correctly, you should see the similar support result shown in image 3.

  6. This is an optional step. If you are using a customized toolkit, jump to Step 7. Download the model files for 1st Bag Carrier.
    • This is an optional step. If you are using a customized toolkit, jump to Step 7.

    • Download the model files for 1st Bag Carrier.

    • Import the file to PrusaSlicer.

    • The model should be oriented same as shown in image 1. If not, change the print orientation.

    • Select Support on build plate only for Supports.

    • Click Slice now. If set up correctly, you should see the similar support result shown in image 2.

    • This step varies depending on the printer selected. If following this guideline, you should choose the Prusa MINI+ as your printer.

    • Check that the printer is well calibrated.

    • Check that the filament loaded in the printer is consistent with the setting in the gcode file.

    • Check that the printer has enough filament loaded to finish the print.

    • Check that the filament has no visible damage.

    • Insert the disk drive with the prepared gcode file to the printer and start the print.

  7. When the prints are finished, you should grab a flush cutter to remove the supports. Depending on the printing accuracy of your printer, the surface of the model may be rough. You should sand it with sandpaper. Caution: sanding with sandpaper generates micro-plastic dust, which can post health risks if inhaled or in contact with mucous membranes. Please do this under professional guidance.
