The video documents the creator's process of designing and 3D printing a custom finger splint after breaking their finger. Using Fusion 360, they modeled a splint with a protective bowl tip and chamfered edges for comfort, then printed it in PETG with a PLA interface layer for easy support removal. This 7-8 minute tutorial provides Fusion 360 modeling tips and 3D printing tricks for anyone interested in creating their own custom splint or similar ergonomic 3D printed parts.
