Description
Greetings all! This is a set of sensory/noise reduction earplugs for individuals who are looking for a little bit of noise reduction for everyday activities, like going to the movies, being in a loud restaurant, and much more. These are a budget-friendly alternative to other similar products on the market, such as the Loop and Flare earplugs. These took me ~20mins to print and used an estimated 1g of filament. These earplugs use standard earbud tips, like those found on earbuds and Loop earplugs. Playing around with infill may increase/decrease noise reduction. Feel free to remix and share if you think of any ways to improve these for the sensitive-eared in our lives!
Edit: I have uploaded a second version (the passthrough variant) of these earplugs that have a small hole in the ring that connects to the ear stem which allows a little more sound to pass through. I printed these successfully with the same settings listed below except with 0% infill and no support.
Extra Materials Needed:
1x Set of Earbud Tips
Note: If for some reason you have issues with scaling, the main ring has a outer diameter of 15.50mm and the height of the overall print is 11.22mm.
