Electro-x Ring

thingiverse

With a hint of skepticism I am uploading my electro-x ring to thingiverse. People who know what they're looking at will grasp this instantly. But for those who don't, it's a bracket for tens bands to stimulate muscles. Got a sore arm? Use this band with your TENS machine and rubber loops. Basically, I've been browsing around and found that a particular brand of tens accessory looks great but costs an outrageous amount - at least in the UK it does: £71 here or £48 for the low end one. So I simplified the design, created something that allows for similar usage. You can easily print this in 10 minutes and add the rest for £10 on ebay. After you print off the electro-x ring, you'll need a length of 3-4mm conductive rubber to fit your arm size, and if you're feeling like you want some intense tens-ing, a set of metal beads with a centre hole of 3.5mm. Like I say, I'm being intentionally vague here; it's pretty self-explanatory for those who know what they're looking at. For those who don't, don't even try - it's not your scene. Print Settings: 1.2mm Shell 1.2mm Top/Bottom Thickness 12% Infill Supports: No Raft: No Material: ABS I printed this in 7 minutes with the above settings/material on a Tevo Black Widow. Designed using 3DS Max, it didn't take long. I'll improve this based on feedback if anyone decides to give it a go. The size of the strap hole can be increased or a spring-loaded retention clip added into the design at any time. The choice of material is entirely yours - you may want to use something rated for human body contact, but that's not my concern.
