EarSlugs - snail-shaped sensory earplugs
Description
The ear-slug is designed to fit soft silicone 'tree' earplugs, such as [these](https://www.amazon.com/3M-90716-80025T-Corded-Reusable-Earplug/dp/B00284DIPK/ref=sr_1_10?crid=3HO3R6G83KUTE&keywords=earplugs&qid=1707249547&sprefix=earplugs%2Caps%2C115&sr=8-10) or [these](https://www.amazon.com/SUPVOX-Silicone-Protection-Water-Proof-Transparent/dp/B07L4P1ZRZ/ref=sr_1_9?crid=J1YFMQJREFVM&keywords=earplugs+clear&qid=1707249587&sprefix=earplugs+cle%2Caps%2C110&sr=8-9). 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'](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08RWMMVCH?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) 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](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CCXKMBMM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) 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!
