This is fantastic use of technology, 3d printers etc. I have a suggestion to avoid improper fit, print the part that makes skin contact only and check it for fit first and then make adjustments if needed once that is done proceed to the labor intensive assembly.
When taking photos from a distance, the photographer may need a stand to avoid small inches difference and should be purely parallel to object. It is better to give the readings of the ruler just in case or mark at the ruler
From the perspective of a professional photographer, I'd like to offer some feedback. Shooting outside in bright light as suggested can result in details being lost in harsh, black shadows. In the pose where the hand is horizontal, the bottom side of the hand and arm would be in complete shadow and it'd be difficult to judge the shape of the bottom of the hand and arm- where the hand ended and the shadow began. The shots here are great as they were taken on an overcast day which resulted in the soft shadows. Many photo transfer and viewing programs and email programs will automatically reduce the size of the image to make it easier to send. This should be disabled. While it may be out of scope to cover this, some people are not going to have the tech savvy to send large pics. 4 large pics could be 50mb or more and most email services will have a cap on size- typically 10mb but often much less. Even a single pic on a DSLR as recommended can run over 10mb so they would not even be able to send one. I don't know if e-nable has a standard or preferred way of handling this. I'd prefer that they NOT choose the best one of each type but just send them all. What an inexperienced person thinks is the best pic may not be. They are likely to choose the most aesthetically pleasing pic rather than the one that works best for fitting Having them all would result in a better chance of getting one that worked well. It would be nice to have them from slightly varying angles but it may be too confusing to request that. Thanks!
Maybe I should have suggested a cloudy day. I was being sent a lot of photos that were taken indoors with inadequate light, and the ruler marks were often too blurry. The resolution of the photos should be good, but don't need to be spectacular. Most of the photos that are sent to me are 500kb-7mb jpegs. While the 500kb photos are not ideal, they are adequate for sizing purposes if the lighting is good. Anything above 5mb is really not necessary for these purposes. The key here is accessibility. If we make it easy for people to send in photos with their camera phones, we are able to serve the most people. There are a lot of people in the world with limb differences who don't have access to DSLR cameras. But most people have a friend or family member with a cell phone that can take photos.
Hi Peter! Thanks for your video. If I send you pictures of my friends wrist could you make the .stl files to us according to her size? We have some places in São Paulo - BR that we can print on their 3D printers for free. Thanks a lot
Here's a 21-minute video series that walks you through the whole virtual fitting process. The video you are watching now is the first in the series. ua-cam.com/video/ewdC3BVUNmg/v-deo.html And like Joe Cross said, this is the Blender file you will use. www.thingiverse.com/thing:564844
Just a question about taking pictures. My brother is 79 and lost both of his hands just above the wrist. He fell about a month ago and broke his right arm and shoulder. Since he can use his left arm at the present, we thought we would get a hand for his left arm. What pictures do you want of him.
This is fantastic! Thanks for the video. I think this will go a long way in avoiding sizing problems.

Thank you, fantastic, easy to understand!!! Nice community, nice work!
Thank you. Looking forward to helping out in the community myself, great for tips

What about 3D scanning the arm-hand of the people?
People's not have 3d scaner in home: it's for remote order.
Do they only make arm/hand prosthetics?

hi
Here's a link to the Blender file: www.thingiverse.com/thing:564844
NO WAY am I giving you a pic of me! I've seen what people do to our pics online.
Heheheha
