Currently I have mine at a length where my nail and finger tip touch a flat surface at the same exact time when I touch something straight on. I got this from the Pumping Nylon book, where Tennant recommends this length. So basically the nail and flesh are perfectly in line with each other if you were to lay a straight edge across your finger tip

Here’s a quick snap - probably about 1-2mm beyond the end of my finger (2mm on M&A and 1mm on I)

Seems to be about right now I have the ramp on I&M from thumb side up to pinky and then flatter on A with a gentle slope the other way.
