@Istonia,
  How did you get your layout set the way you have it in the video. I was trying to make some changes and follow along but my windows toolbars are minimal and nothing like yours in the video.
Thanks,
Dave
edit: I found another noob post and found the kickstart video and reset my user settings.That fixed it. I also had some strange box up in the top left that I couldn't get rid of but that too is now ok. Now maybe I can get somewhere.

Wow! Absolutely amazing what you can do with NVIL when you become good at it. That would have taken me a year to figure out. I have made a copy of the video so I can watch it over and over to learn from. I appreciate you taking the time and effort to show me just how powerful NVIL is in the right hands. I can't hardly even believe it. I will be sending an email as I have a question in private.
Thanks,
Dave

  After opening it in the slicer I noticed the lets call them fingers, need to be a little more vertical.Like 45 or 60 degrees upwards. How would I change that?

You can use the "Spline Rig"
I have added a simple 3 point spline to each of the 6 fingers.(pic 01, vws attached)
Select the vertex of the finger you want to edit (pic 02)
call tool:- "Geometry -> Common Command n Tools => Spline Rig" Select the spline for that finger, then select the spline vertex and move it to adjust the mesh (pic 03)

Steve,
  Thank you very much for helping me out with this. I appreciate you adding the 3 point spline and modifying the splash. I will check it out in a little while. Great job! Thanks, Dave
