The name "Gen 3X1" comes from a fake USB name I thought up when hearing about USB4 Version 2.0. Since one of the features was that monitors could take 3 lanes for 120gpbs -> monitor, 40Gpbs -> PC instead of the 2X2 of 80gbps each way, I boarded that USB naming convention train and called it "USB4 Version 2.0 Gen 3X1". I like how it has every number from 0 - 4.
I looked on the internet to find a new LCD background so that I could get that "Gen 3X1" vibe whilst modelling. I saw [1st image] and thought it had potential, so I moved the hue 180 degrees and I think it looks like some powerful, elf magic mana discharge [2nd image]:



I doubt it's the render image, but maybe I should've gone with the colder/higher contrast looking 200 degree hue shift?


I still kind of think that the only reason why it looks strange is because it's top heavy. The reason is to prevent finger intersections, particularly from Finger5. This is what it could look like if I went with my original plan of having the motor near to the palm:

I'm expecting that the load cell will have a cutout to be able to insert the ball-chain and then a spacer goes inside the gap and screwed down.
