Inspired by https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2313553 That model by 43d was good, but since it printed vertically, it took a while to print(probably a lot longer if you don't have direct drive, because there are going to be a TON of retractions). And for that design, you still had to using hot water or a heat gun to get it to fit, unless your finger is that exact same shape. And then it was uncomfortable to wear because of all the bumps from the stringing, which is tough to eliminate with so many small columns. So I designed mine in Fusion 360 to print completely flat. I just made the rough shape and then created the diamond pattern and rounded all the edges. It doesn't look as cool as the random webbing from the other design, but it feels much better when wearing it. After printing it, just put it in some hot water to make it softer and mold it to your finger. You may need to do that a couple times to get the exact fit you want. I used PLA. I'm not sure how well PETG or anything else will work since you do have to soften it with heat.
