I would say that the parts would be too large to print on most 3d printers.

Having destroyed several 3d prints recently, I would say that it could be quite dangerous. Often when large pieces break, they leave jagged edges, this is not good when you have neck and wrists involved.

When it comes to making clamps and such like then it is a different matter, 3d printing can produce some great styles, e.g. a device that holds the labia open and then has clit clip built in (hygene precautions should be taken, for abs I use a vapour bath to smooth the abs and help create a surface that can be cleaned (just like Lego))

Cheers

The files are CAD files i think. that's why you are having trouble viewing them

Question about this. do you think this would be possible via casting with aluminum? youtube is great, just look up diy aluminum casting. looks simple enough, all things considered.

I think if you made Styrofoam pieces and cast them this might work. any ideas?

It could be done as a lost foam casting.

But where laser cuttings are within tenths or hundredths of a millimeter, diy castings typically are in the millimeter range of error and roughness.
It will need quite a bit of finishing after casting.

Thank you very much for sharing, @Schnecke! I have access to a laser cutter and look forward to trying out your design.

Any chance you know were to find the plans to make the rigid stocks? i have been trying to buy them for months and i cant find any sellers.

I tried to create a fiddle which can be build on a 3D-Printer. All parts are small enough and are mounted with screws together ... printing coming soon.

Welcome to Bound Anna, Ling! How much would that cost to print? I can't wait to see what else you can print.

Finally it´s done ... took some time and overall the feeling of cold and heavy metal is missing. But, it´s tough enough so that you aren't able to break it.

Total costs are 45€ (18€ screws, 7€ lock, 20€ material ... without closer look to energy costs and stuff for the 3D printer)

Next project might be a rigid spreader bar, similar to the RigidSpreader Jo-2.

Can it be used in solo play? I would probably use an electronic timer lock to release with a button with a wire cutters as emergency release, though it looks like it would be fun to put on a combination lock and have to wait until daylight to see the dials. Force people to eat like dogs and have very limited capabilities until set free.

I think with a modified locking-hole, a segufix-lock could work. Release could be with an electro-magnet on a timer...

Ling,

Without a doubt you should consider offering that very impressive piece of work on Etsy (or any similar e-market that permits sales of such items), once you've gotten a better grasp on your production costs. I am thinking you could probably work up plans for, say, two or three different collar sizes and two or three different wrist sizes, neither of which would materially affect the production time, inputs, etc., and quite literally go into business.

The absence of the "weight" and "cold steel" are legitimate, but at the price point you could probably demand, I think that *many* folks would try out a plastic fiddle-type product before deciding to try out the real thing (or not!) If you were here in the US (i.e., lower shipping costs), I know I certainly would.

Solicit advice from some of the mechanically-inclined veterans on this board, and create an additional low-cost, self-bondage-ready locking post, and you'd probably sell dozens of them to just this community alone.

Bravo.

I know, these following pics might not fit perfectly, cause it´s a Spreader and no Fiddle. But I wanted to give this Topic an "UP"

After some long Days at home caused by Corona I´ve created an Rigid Spreader Bar (inspired by Rigid Spreader Jo-2) and printed these parts on my 3D Printer. On this Spreader Bar I´ve tested 2 different materials, that´s why it looks a little strange with these 2 colors ... but hey, it´s unique.

Total costs:
- 35€ material for the 3D Printer
- 7€ screws/nuts
- 8€ for both locks

So far I´am happy with it ... for the 2nd edition I might change some sizes and looking for a Selfbondage-Idea. Maybe I add some small magnets, so that it closes itself and will need some force to open ...

criticism and improvement-ideas are welcome.
