Thimble Hand Turkey Project
As a fun holiday-themed activity, we took a break in the office to draw grade-school-style hand-turkeys. This project is the result. Feel free to duplicate our work and have some fun making your own!
Instructions
NOTE: There are slightly more detailed instructions on our blog. If you get stuck, ask on our forums or send us an email.
Start by printing out the template PDF file. Then, trace your hand.

Clone or download this repository to your computer.
Scan your drawing into your computer and use KiCAD's Bitmap2Component tool to import your design to the silkscreen layer. We recommend scaling your design to fit within a 10x10cm square to be able to utilize low-cost rapid PCB prototyping services.
Trace around your hand in KiCAD on the edge cuts layer and move components around to fit your design.
Generate your gerbers and drill files and either make your own printed circuit board or have it manufactured.
Enjoy! Please share your creation with us on social media using our hashtag, #madewiththimble for a chance to win a prize.

Questions
How big is the Hand turkey PCB?
It measures 100 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Hand turkey use?
34 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Hand turkey KiCad files?
From the thimbleio/hand-turkey repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/handTurkey.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Hand turkey design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
