Update 2009: Cleaned up the hand and made it suitable for printing on a MakerBot. Its smaller and I removed the hollow insides to make it more solid.

Update: I also removed the dish that was holding the hand so you can print it even bigger.

Instructions

This one has some aggressive overhangs, but if you use the secret technique of propping up one side of your makerbot with some books, then it will print perfectly (see picture)

will you post the STL for the love hand?

You could make a series of instructional hand positions for sign language.

Hadn't thought about tilting the machine like that. Brilliant! Thanks you.

Is there a way of making a mirror image of this STL file? then I can make left and right hands...

Would inversing X or Y (or maybe you'd have to do both) do it?

Interesting idea with the overhangs. could you not make a way to attach motors to it to have it adjust the angle automatically?

Are you sure that the books (tilting the machine) actually helped with this print? The effects of gravity (as in the RepRap in space blog post) are actually negligible. If not, this might be a useful technique after all...

you should be able to print 60
Ã‚Â° overhang without any problems ..

this is different from the upside down technique adrian was posting about. the problem is that the thumb overhang is about 60deg. when that part gets printed there's no plastic from the previous layer directly underneath it. this hack changes there 'down' direction so that it is in line with the previous layers. since the rest of the object is essentially vertical, all the other things still print fine.
