3D Printed Ergonomic & Friendly Asthma Inhaler

thingiverse

This innovative and user-friendly 3D printed health-related item is a highly effective ergonomic solution designed to simplify the usage of inhaler devices for people suffering from asthma.\nI've been living with asthma for two decades, and I'm well aware of how crucial proper inhaler use can be in improving my breathing.\nMost individuals struggle to manage their inhalers correctly and maintain them in a stable position while using them. The unique shape of this object makes it easy to firmly push the canister without struggling. You can hold the inhaler more securely and adapt it to your preferred handling method. Because it easily rotates on top of the inhaler, it's perfectly suited for both right-handed and left-handed individuals.\nIn addition, the cheerful smile face designed into the object adds a friendly touch, making the perception of the inhaler less intimidating and scary, especially for children or emotionally sensitive people.\nIt typically works with all standard asthma inhalers (both preventer and reliever types).\nIn summary, this 3D printed item is an assistive technology created to make asthma treatment more effective and user-friendly.\nPrint Settings\nPrinter Brand: \n RepRap\n \n Printer: \n Kossel mini\n \n Rafts: \n No\n \n Supports: \n Doesn't Matter\n \n Resolution: \n 0.25 mm\n \n Infill: \n 30%\n \n Notes: \n Other settings: 2 perimeters, 3 solid top & bottom layers.\nThere are essentially two ways to orient the object for optimal printing results:\n1) "120 degrees rotation" so that it lies on its side on the print bed (refer to the attached Cura picture);\n2) "bottom up" so that it stands with the two small pillars on the print bed (see the attached Cura image).\nI've experimented with both printing options and achieved the best results by implementing a 120-degree rotation.\nI recommend using a vibrant color for the filament (such as yellow in my case, which complements the smile face nicely) to enhance the friendly appearance of the object.
