I’m really happy of the success of this thing and we hope it could be useful to people, because it helped us.
We are not doctors (just designer engineers) so we recommend to test any design with your Primary, PT, or Physiotherapist, and to adapt the design to your needs and your size.
The solution to the fit is thermoforming. Like the process by which mouthguards are formed in one of my tutorial videos, Product thermoforming allows for custom-fitting directly to the body. Additionally, the fit can be adjusted as needed after the initial forming.
One of the biggest challenges in 3D-printed prosthetic devices is achieving the proper fit. If the loads on the device are not properly distributed across the skin and underlying tissue, it can lead to irritation, bruising, or rashes. In the case of the body-driven prosthetic devices that the e-NABLE community designs, there are two body-interfacing components: the palm and the gauntlet. The palm serves as a "pocket" into which the user slips their residual hand, and the gauntlet anchors the device to the forearm.
You should also read is more recent this, because contains a lot of useful information about the forming in hot water.
