Handheld leg / back / muscle massager

thingiverse

My Mother-in-Law saw a massager similar to this in a magazine and the cost was outrageous so she asked me if i could make one for her. I used a few refference pictures and designed the parts in AutoDesk Inventor then exported them as .STL files, used XYZWare to make them printable on my DaVinci Printer, and made the massager. I made the connection points so that they fit a 1" dowel rod which is used as the handle. if your printer cannot print the .3W files I uploaded feel free to download the .STL files and use your own slicer to export them, you will just have to tinker with the diameter of the "Hand" if you wish to make the smaller version. Print Settings Printer: DaVinci Jr. 1.0 Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Doesn't Matter Resolution: Excellent Infill: 30% (minimum) Notes: I printed mine without any supports and with 30% infill, that seems to be sufficient and hasn't broken in the few months that its been getting used. after printing out at least one hand and at least one attachment point I used a generous amount of super glue to fix the parts together, that has held just fine for months, if they ever break apart I will use 5-minute epoxy to reassemble the parts.
