Description
Unlock targeted relief and soothe deep muscle tension with the Piriformis & Psoas Release Tool. Designed to simulate a therapist's knuckles, this ergonomic tool applies precise pressure to hard-to-reach muscles in your hips and lower back, including the piriformis and psoas. Its unique shape features two rounded pressure points and a central channel to protect your spine. By simply lying on the tool and using your body weight, you can control the intensity of the massage and achieve a deep, effective release, helping to alleviate pain and improve flexibility from the comfort of your home.
This design was created so it has maximum strength with the least amount of filament - with supports. I have created another tool just like this that DOES NOT require supports.
Filament: Use PETG for its strength and durability, which are ideal for a tool that will bear body weight.
Nozzle Temperature: 242°F (or 116°C) is a good starting point for PETG, as it allows for good layer adhesion.
Build Plate Temperature: A 70°C build plate will help prevent warping and ensure good bed adhesion.
Infill: An 18% gyroid infill is a great choice. The gyroid pattern provides excellent strength from all directions without being overly dense, which saves on filament and print time
NOTE: The included gcode was created for a Creality Ender S3.
