Wrist Brace Support Kit - Black
My wrist needed support so I designed this. It’s a holistic wrist support that molds to your wrist using warm water. After heating it in warm water, the wrist brace will mold to your hand and wrist, it is printed and shipped flat.

I’m really happy with the success of this support guard and we hope it could be useful to you. Uses include Ergonomics, Cosplay, Wrist Support, Computer Work Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Support, or Skateboarding Protection - Not a Medical Device
We’re 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 called 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.
