It's hard to know how I should fill up the empty area around my wrist to 'squish' the sensors up to my wrist to generate that needed contact for measuring. As you can see here:

It's made me think, maybe there is another way, and easier way to solve this... go back to the drawing board so to speak. But that is the benefit of 3D printing - allowing the rapid prototyping of ideas.
