Parts to make Sophie's left hand. To make the right hand, just mirror each part in your slicing software (I don't think some of the finger parts actually need mirroring, but I still did just in case they weren't perfectly symmetrical).
I used thin but flexible steel gardener's wire (1.1mm - not piano wire) to string the fingers to the hands. It can be tricky to pass the wire through the tip of each finger so you'll probably need an electric drill with a very small 2mm drillbit to open up the holes in the fingertips and the channels inside the palm. This is why the palm is printed in three separate sections; so it is easy to drill through the internal channels and make sure thin wire can pass through.
The wrist-to-hand adaptor that connects this hand to it's arm can be found in Sophie's arm upload.
Best to print the finger parts on 0.1mm (fine) or 0.06mm (ultra fine) so that the small joints fit snugly together. The palm sections are fine to print on 0.15mm (normal) setting.
I found that rafts underneath each part of the palm also helped to reduce heat warping, since each of the three palm sections need to have flat faces so they will glue together without any large gaps.
Would expect to use about 500g of filament per hand, with each complete hand taking about 24 hours to print (using ultra-fine setting for all the finger joints).
