EarSlugs - snail-shaped sensory earplugs

thingiverse

The ear-slug is designed to fit soft silicone 'tree' earplugs, such as these or these. You may need to trim a few mm off the plug itself with scissors, as desired.Thank you to Nebetbastet and TeamTeamUSA for sharing their shells which I remixed for the carrying cases. (The ear was crudely modeled off my own, and warped to fit the plugs).I printed my earslugs in the 'Superfast Superflex' SLA resin as it is biocompatible, flexible, and I liked the clear look. FDM would likely work fine for these, perhaps a nice TPE. Of course, be sure that whatever you use will not cause a reaction from sensitive skin.The cases were printed with simple PLA. A 1.75m standard peice of filament is used for the hinge on the 'ear' case, and I used 5x2mm magnets for the 'ear' and 'shell case' containers. If you do not have magnets, the 'shell bottle' requires nothing.Ass with anything - be safe, be smart, don't put anything inside your ear you are unsure of.Hope you are having a nice day!
