The Doll Forum

Hi ADHERAQ777, First, I think maybe the picture you referred to of my doll looks to have bigger hands because of the perspective. In that photo her hands are several inches in front of her face. you should refer to the one with her hand next to her face. In my eye, I think the hands are correctly pr...

Thanks Gentlemen! "When you say you had to weld them shut, I assume you are talking about closing the incision?" Yes, The incisions had to be welded shut with a soldering iron. The glue wouldn't hold it shut as there was too much tension on the hands. I have had to learn to weld and reshap...

Well, I installed the new hands. Sorry, it's been a while. Moving,...New Job,...Car repairs,.... So here's the result of the 5'5" inch hands. They were stretching the hands of my doll(D4E 146cm) a bit and glue didn't work so I had to weld them shut. I did reduce the space between the knuckles a...

Update. Stainless steel clevis joints arrived today. The components look good. I do think I'll grab a file and round off the corners. Sculpteo order is still in the mail. It might be a while until I have a chance to install them. I'm moving this month and I've got to figure out how my dolls will mak...

ok. I've requested a modification to the order. but if it doesn't happen I'll have four 5.5" palm plates to sell at cost to whomever wants them i guess. Mannequin Fan. let me know when they are done and will pay you. I did order enough fingers for two dolls but I don't expect 4 palm plates at t...

ok. should I cancel the order for the palms?

Hand skeletons and Clevis joints ordered.

Hand skeletons ordered. They are saying I'll get them on the 16th.

Thanks!

MF, thank you for researching this all out!
Sounds like a plan. 1/8 " longer should be fine.
However, if Sculpteo make a better product I will go through them.
To be clear, will I be notching the palm plates out when I get them? I have no problem doing that.

Regarding the wrist, that looks like it might be a big project. Looks like it's kind of a reverse clevis with the clevis being on the palm plate instead of on the arm? Yes. Correct. The Clevis is on the palm plate, which is just a piece of heavier gauge sheet metal that has been bent to shape. The I...

Trick700, Thanks!
I do think I'll wait for MF to post to Shapeways.

BTW, Amber is stunning!

Holy Crap. I've been all over this thread and the MF creations page and can't figure out how to order the fingers!! Can someone point me at the right post or link to actually make an order?

Thought I'd share this with the thread. Mannequin Fan let me know the 5.5 fingers have been released. I immediately began removing the old broken wires from my doll and discovered the wrist construction is incompatible. I have 2 Doll4ever 146 cm. The wrist 'bones' look like the following pictures. S...

You're probably really busy but thank you, sir. That would be awesome.

NEEEEEED these for my dolls! but they have 5.5 inch hands. I'm tempted to order some and shorten them.
