My first attempt at a commercial 3D print: an asthma inhaler body that can flip into a slimmer form so it doesnt jut out and dug into legs or tear pants. What do you guys think? https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/tool/flip-top-inhaler An additional 25% for fellow Lemmings with the code APMECHL

    I agree. Admittedly I haven’t dealt with the legal side in years and never outside my own country. But definitely talk to a specialist lawyer or other expert about it. Because of the oral application it might not even be the lowest level of medical device anymore. And with that comes a multitude of regulations. From durability to material to production environment.

    I like the idea and as someone who had to use a dispenser in my youth, I appreciate the smaller profile of it.

      FWIW, resin may be better.

      But I definite, OP should chat with somebody that knows more- I just know enough to say that much.

        Isn’t the type of plastic used in resin prints relatively toxic?

        Frankly, I’m not sure there’s a good alternative to traditional manufacturing (injection molding or whatever) for this application.
