In-halo - inhaler for children with asthma

thingiverse

Asthma often leads to bullying because people mistakenly see inhalers as a sign of weakness. However, when children form bonds with their inhalers, empathy grows and shame fades away. The use of this inhaler empowers kids to manage their condition effectively. This inhaler was originally designed for small children with asthma, featuring an ergonomic grip that makes it easy to hold. After gathering feedback from parents, I discovered that most kids prefer using spacers instead. Fortunately, some spacers have rubber ends that adapt to any mouthpiece, making this inhaler compatible as well. What's more, various canister sizes exist, so the fit might not be perfect for all of them. Printer Settings Printer: XYZ DaVinci Jr. Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 15 Notes: Use high-quality settings, especially for the main part (the base). Post-Printing A needle or pin is needed to puncture the spray hole, which will be marked on the print but may not be completely clean due to its small size. To ensure a snug fit between the top and base, sand or use a knife to remove excess material. I designed this inhaler for GrabCAD's 3D Printing Event in 2012, where it won first place out of hundreds of entries from around the globe. Custom Section This model has been available for free download since 2012. Despite attempts to steal and commercialize it, all have failed so far. Please support the original design and author (me). My intention was never to profit from people's struggles but to provide a viable alternative to traditional inhalers. Thanks to everyone who has supported me in this mission. This is for the benefit of everyone affected by asthma.
