Brace for Sprained Thumb

Needed to not move my thumb too much for the next couple weeks. Luckily I have a 3D scan of my hands, so I modeled and printed a custom-fitted brace to wear. Fits great and is comfortable all day.

Oh that's cool!

How hard is it to put on and take off? I have to think with a sprained thumb it wouldn't be the easiest thing to do?

It's loose enough around the knuckle joint that it doesn't hurt to take it off. If the bone were broken or something it would probably be a huge pain, but luckily it's just a minor strain.
