My first attempt at a commercial 3D print: an asthma inhaler body that can flip into a slimmer form so it doesnt jut out and dug into legs or tear pants. What do you guys think?

Edit: Hi all, it seems like the general consensus is that this is a dangerous product. I really believed that I was making something helpful but that may not be the case. I have decided to take down the listing from Cults3D. Thank you for your feedback.

    FWIW, resin may be better.

    But I definite, OP should chat with somebody that knows more- I just know enough to say that much.

      Isn’t the type of plastic used in resin prints relatively toxic?

      Frankly, I’m not sure there’s a good alternative to traditional manufacturing (injection molding or whatever) for this application.

        It depends on the resin, there is resin that are food safe or even biocompatible

        There are medical grade resins

        I’ve not used them, and I’m not an expert, but I assume there’s a way to make them safe for an inhaler.
