Toe Nail Straightener

thingiverse

Hi! This is a tool for those of us who suffer from ingrown and curved toe nails. Although metal versions of this tool is available for sale, I made this to be printed on a 3D printer at home. The device works like this: 1. First soak your curved toe nail in warm water for 15 minutes. 2. Place the two hooks of the nail straightener underneath the front corners of your toe nail. 3. Using the top screw, tighten down the nail pad on your curved toe nail. Do not over exert! Just tighten as long as you do not have any pain. 4. Leave the nail straightener on your toe until it dries or use a hair dryer with cold air to dry the toe nail. 5. Remove toe nail straightener. The toe nail will become straighter than before. 6. Repeat as necessary on subsequent days to get the best results.
