Thank you, @fbiggi!

@GiulioRomualdi to position your thumb as you want for your experiments you must loosen the 2 screws as in the photo The plug that connects the thumb to the palm must remain stationary Please pass the info to your team

Thanks @fbiggi for repairing the thumb! 🚀

I acknowledge that the broken thumb was an accident.

Anyway, consider the suggestion above posted by @fbiggi in case you need to reposition the thumb-axis-rotation (not actuated).

Closing!
