I am an engineering student and in the robotics, you can increase strength by adding counter wires on the opposite side. Also switch to metal cables. Fishing line breaks really easily, but you can find metal wire in the jewelry supply section to replace it and its virtually indestructible without wire cutters. To protect the wires you can run them inside the finger mechanism. Also, just an idea, but if you want to add a screw in feature to your new prosthetic fingertip, you could put interchangeable tips on it. As well as an attachment on the back of the glove too. You have given me so many ideas to think about! BTW, This is an amazing job! Absolutely brilliant! I was 10,000 % impressed! My little inventor/engineering heart just jumped to so many ideas.

Ok so it just occurred to me, what about adding the interchangeable fingertips, you can get a small alligator clamp attachment, it will help you hold the tiniest of miniatures when you are crafting. A detachable led flashlight, a tiny detachable spy camera that blue tooth connects to your computer, so you can see inside your models, incase you every need to. And just for fun, A detachable Lazer pointer to point at things to randomly annoy your cat.

The physical and occupational therapist here. To say I'm impressed you managed to create a functional prosthetic is the understatement of the century! It may not seem so useful to you, but practice makes perfect. The more you try to utilize the prosthetic the easier it becomes. Sure, it may not hold the functional prosthetics standards from a medical point of view, but you managed to create one nonetheless. I've been watching your videos for many years and noticed your finger not so long ago. The positivity you hold in every single video manages to camouflage what you're missing, which is absolutely nothing. The way you have learned to cope with technically four fingers in one hand is perfect, from my point of view. With that being said, you can actually start doing occupational therapy with this prosthetic. Learn numerous ways to grab big and small items. Practice different types of grips with this glove. Try using it while doing your daily activities like putting on clothes with it, working with buttons, cook, cleaning, painting, coloring, drawing, or anything you put your heart into. I am so proud of how you manage to utilize your hand. Keep doing what you love and don't let any negative thoughts creep into your beautiful creative brain. You can actually help others who live under your same condition with this prosthetic. Keep on playing around with this one and see where it can lead you. Not only will it help you understand its functional mechanism but it will also facilitate your day-to-day activities. I know I said it already, but I'm so proud and seriously impressed with this project of yours. Can't wait to see what beautiful projects your brain comes up with. Keep on going Nerdforge! You can and always will accomplish everything and anything. Sending love and blessings to you and all of your loved ones all the way from across the lake, specifically Honduras. From Paulina Cárcamo, bachelor's of physical and occupational therapy

@@spongebobsquarepants7837 What a silly comment. I personally know several carpenters who exactly know what workplace safety means (why that is somehow not part of the experience of "the experienced" worker defies all logic ... like you wrongly assume). And here in this very comment section is another carpenter posting exactly the opposite of your generalizing and unproved claim (did I mention that it is silly?). Further: Accidents happen. To everyone! That is the reason why we have safety regulations and safety measurements at the workplace and with machines or tools. And the victims even don't have to be blamed for that what happened. Its called an accident, not self-inflicted self-mutilation. You should really learn what the words mean you are using without any thought (like "... they don’t have the fear anymore". What a wild claim and demonstrably BS!). Of course, there is the possibility that someone loses attention during a recurring or boring activity (That is where safety measurements come into the game). But surely not in the case of dangerous and difficult manual work, which is a property what characterizes the EXPERIENCED worker. That is the complete opposite of what you're fantasizing here. Edit: I should've looked more into that: You use the word "fear". Anyone who has FEAR instead of RESPECT for dangerous work and tools has clearly missed the profession. After your strange view on even that aspect of reality I highly suspect that you just made your little "wisdom" up to tell us some smart looking BS. While in reality you have absolutely no clue what you are talking about.

I empathise. Having lost my middle finger (Left hand - non-dominant, thank God) 10 years ago now, I hardly notice it. It took a little time to adjust but thankfully, I realised it's not one of the important digits like a thumb or a forefinger. The phantom limb syndrome disappeared after about 5 years & the only time I notice it these days is when I accidentally bang the stub against something solid. That's when the air is full of colourful metaphors / language. Props to you - quite literally, for rebuilding your hand. It was SO fun to watch. 🤗😃

Never noticed that you are missing a finger. Most important what I’ve really noticed, that you never lost your passion and creativity on Art. That’s how heroes made, lose pieces of your body, but never forget who you are and what your goals are. Martina ! Biggest Respect for being a such wonderfull and funny woman ❤️

Ich schau deine Videos schon 2-3 Jahre. Du bist eine unglaubliche Frau. Du kannst sehr stolz auf dich sein. Mach weiter und bleib so wie du bist.

Thoughts for making the finger more tactile: Rubberise the fingertip. Make the fingertip easily replaceable now that it picks up dirt. Redesign so that the weight of the mechanism is transferred somewhere you can feel. I think the initial design does this well, as the wristband would pull on your wrist, and the wire would dig into your knuckle . The wrist band needs to be redesigned so that it isn't awkward to put on with the glove. Maybe use a flexible filament and a shape like this C>. The wire digging into your knuckle is uncomfortable, so I think that adding a knuckle pad with a groove would be a good idea.

Severed my extensor tendon in my dominant hand last year. I'm an artist and I couldn't draw or write and I was so depressed. I am blown away by how positive and adaptive of your injury you are. It really goes to show what a positive mindset can do, so I'm going to see what I can do with my hand, instead of focusing on what I can't.

Wonder if there's a way to trick your brain into thinking that your non-dominant hand is now your dominant hand.

Would it be possible to train your non-dominant hand though? When I was a small boy I had to spend over 3 years in a hospital due to a lot of health issues, so my aunt (who looks incredibly similar to Martina, both in looks and attitude) taught me to write. But the thing is that she's left-handed, and I didn't know any better and simply copied her. Well.. around 10 years later I realized that my left hand isn't actually my dominant hand but I've trained it so well that it practically is. Recently I started having bad carpal tunnel syndrome in my left wrist so I started learning to write with my right hand, it was super awkward at first as I didn't even know how to hold a pen with my right hand, but after months of practice, I can write with both hands now and there's very little difference between them, although it doesn't still feel fully comfortable

In art school we practiced doing sketches with our feet and non dominant hands as well as our mouths. It was a small exercise that got us to simplify the way we saw shapes and shading. If you try this you might be surprised by what you are capable of! I certainly learned a lot from it and I hope you can too! It felt like dancing with our body parts sometimes too. Things looked more abstract in a good way.

Truly inpiring and you are so full of positive energy it really just exudes from this video

i like how you matched your look this is an awesome origin story.

theres a guy on yt who after a work accident lost the majority of his fingers on one of his hands, throughout the years, hes been creating a bionic extention to replace those fingers that he lost, its honestly incredible and really fascinating what engineering can do if you keep working toward a main goal

Never watched you before and for that I have regret! I have some catching up to do, this is a brilliant video, the style of camerawork and the way you go through everything - perfect! I have subscribed.

I would love it if you made a adv version using those patch nerve sensors and fix that shift key problem. awesome video. late to the party but still awesome

Fantastic engineering! The Knick finger is a WAY better version of a design I created & submitted to the public domain close to 10 years ago. Now you've taken it and made it even better still! As an artist and engineer, it's gratifying to see people take an initial concept I had, keep what works, throw out what doesn't and improve it so much. Thank you for detailing how you did this!!

I don't understand how I was so busy watching you make stuff that I didn't notice you missing most of a finger, just goes to show how amazing your work is

Nice job! Very intuitive on your part to create something that helps you regain a bit of what you lost. Cool idea with the light, have you thought about using micro wires? small as hair’s.

Just when I think Martina can’t get any more badass, she goes and makes herself a cyberpunk cyborg finger prosthetic. This looks awesome!

Honestly, I just figured you were born that way. I had a friend in high school who's left hand was missing all its fingers, and she just point blank told me when we met, "no there was no accident, I was born with my stump. But you're creative, help me come up with cool stories to trick people with." We were attached at the hip ever since.

This is awesome! My grandfather lost his own pinky in an odd boating accident. He actually trapped the pinky in his boats door, and just pulled it off. Didn't even notice until he saw a puddle of blood. He joked about it all the time. Loved giving "high fours", loved joking about how his finger was waiting for him in heaven. Where ever he is, he's smiling at this. He would have loved it. I love it too! Straight outta night city!

For as long as I have been watching your videos, I NEVER noticed. In fact, I must have missed this video posted a year ago, so when I saw the title, I assumed you had a recent accident. I guess I was more focused on your amazing creations and beautiful artwork!

This is the first video of yours I have scene, and it has definitely made me appreciate my left pinky more. I tried imagining typing while pressing shift with my right pinky, and I gagged a little.

I noticed the missing pinkie at some point but figured if you wanted us/me to know whether you never had one from birth or lost it at some point, you'd make a video about it. This is the coolest way I could imagine ever to satisfy potentially curious minds while simultaneously sharing your process in creating a totally amazing cyberpunk glove! Well done!

I love how chill you are about missing a finger. I gained +10 body positivity just by watching this video.

0:00 I love this part

Huge love to the dedication and determination you had making this entire video in general💙 I had so much interest from the first second till the very end and full well deserved my sub. Theres so much more I wish I could properly display the words on your character but to put it simply, you iare FASCINATING. Till the endpoint of the video I think we all knew that this mechanical finger wasnt of much to practical use but doing it for the heck of it was more than enough to be interesting. It was like exciting to watch. And exciting to know that there is more improvements yet to come practically as well in terms of technological improvement. People such as myself cant help but wonder about the cyberpunk tech that could fit in there and you nailed the aesthetic and goal behind it from an initial standpoint.

I’ve been watching for a couple years and I can’t believe i’ve NEVER NOTICED! I’m just always looking at her hair and expressive face and the magical art they do! But this is really cool, thanks for the awesome video!
