After a tremendous positive response here in Amsterdam at the Makerfaire 2014 (may 30, 31 & June 1) I decided to make the pen more parameter controlled. And I will commercialize it. People can download a diagram where they can fill in some measurements of the pointing finger. I will then 3D print it on my printer and if the customer would want it, I will send them the STL file so they can print the pen themselves in the future. As soon as this is available I will update the site.<\/p>\n

My mother, 83 years old, has Rheuma and cannot bend her finger easily anymore. This would disable her to write with a pen. I saw a fingerpen on the internet which, with the shipping costs and small refils, would become quite expensive. Time to do a little practical project. I measured hte dimensions of het pointing finger and designed a fingerpen to be printed on my 3D printer and capable of using a simple BIC pen. And before a BIC pen is empty you are a couple of years ahead.<\/p>\n

By putting het pointing finger through the hole and supporting with the thumb and middle finger she can now write again quite nicely actually. Costs of this project (excluding time[is family :)]) I recon about us$ 1.00 (needed a few before I got nicely fitting). Pen was printed in white PLA.<\/p>\n

Needed another one so I added some real thing pictures.<\/p>\n
