[Discussion] mannequin arms?

[Tolley, Gary]

A regular hand span is at least 200mm, using my own hand as reference,
is ~200mm from tip to wrist, so therefore is a bit too high for the
RepRap to print, unless you chop it up somehow, not my hand, but the
mannequin hand model.

Probably 100-200 grams depending on size & density.
