Finger Puppet (fusion360)

Finger puppet inspired by work of artist barnabydixon (https://www.youtube.com/@barnabydixon)

There is a lot of potential in trying to make puppets with inner mechanisms like he does with 3d printing. I didn't try to make complex mechanisms for now and used the flexibility of TPU to make the design easier. In the end, it's more in the vein of this video where he demonstrated more specifically how to make puppets from paper : 

But I am inspired by techniques he demonstrated in his whole videos repertoire for the future.

Print this puppet in a flexible material like TPU for it to be able to bend. 

Either use a hand to control the upper part and the other for the lower part of the puppet or control the puppet with 4 fingers of the same hand. Both can work but will have different advantages and disadvantages.

While not truely parametric, it is easy to adjust the source file to fit your needs.
