Toenail protective cover

prusaprinters

<p>It is a small little tweak, but if you have a certain genetics it can make a difference, as it did for me. It is the smallest, simplest but most useful print I've ever made. &nbsp;I have the tendency to have ingrown toenail and it was pretty bad in the last few years. I needed something to cover the edge of my toenail to avoid it to cut into the flesh and yes 3D printing can solve this problem apparently.&nbsp;</p><p>The first day or so was tough because it pressed against the swallowed tissue, but after that it was a relief. Since then I accidentally kicked into solid objects with no harm, it worked for me flawlessly. I printed a bunch of it and while the wound was open I replaced them frequently, once or twice a day. Since a week later after the wound got closed I replace it once or twice a week, I just rinse them and reuse. My nail almost grown back so soon I will not need it all. I really hope it can help others too.</p><p>Of course use it to your own risk and responsibility, and for God sake visit the doctor, don't be a fool like me! :)</p><p>I recommend to print it out of food safe PETG, no color of course. Less chemical is better. &nbsp;Or just use what you have.</p><p>I've created a configurable OpenScad project, so the thing can be configured to your needs, since all toenail is different. An stl is also included with the config I use.</p>
