Parts for a gauntlet I designed for a Dungeon Crawler Carl cosplay.
You will need 3 each of the "Standard - Distal Joint" and "Standard - Proximal Joint" files for the Pointer, Middle, and Ring fingers.
I printed the Knuckle Plate in two halves and epoxied them together.
In order to get the smoothest finish on the surface of the Hand parts, they are printed flat with creases built in and must be epoxied into shape. You'll want to print 2 of the "angle brace - middle crease" and 4 of the "angle brace - outer creases" to hold the pieces at the right angles while the epoxy dries in the creases.
All the finger pieces were riveted onto a piece of leather before being attached with rivets to the leather glove by two anchor points - top and bottom. I then glued them on with rubber cement, but the glue came loose after a while, so either use better glue or sew them on. For the joints, I used M4 6mm screw rivets so that they had wiggle room to move.

Basically just look up how actual gauntlets are made. It's long and hard and tedious and I wish you the best of luck.
