Finding inner peace within the Stars: a PA clamshell tube (WIP)

I've gotten a bit better at 3D modeling these past few weeks — learning almost any modeling strategy in broadest strokes is better than none, I suspect — and getting the printer closer to dialled in and/or working around its limitations.

I present this preview of a 3-piece PA ringed clamshell design. I'm aiming for it to be comfortable for my anatomy, easy for a keyholder to apply and remove as desired, secure, and fully 3-D printable. I'm also aiming for cute, in a weird sort of way, once I clean up some of the lines. I've worn an older version with a fixed hook, and it's quite comfy in the everyday. Place penis thru hole, slide glans over hook, recombobulate, apply lid. Unfortunately, when erect, it's not possible to get it on or off, frustrating objective #2, and oversatisfying objective #3, not good for the high-touch relationships I enjoy most. It's also harder to get the entire fixed hook looking very good, therefore feeling comfortable.


Thus, the slightly novel aspect of this design, the removable PA hook, interchangeable for fit or fun, secured by the lid clip in front and top, and a lip at the bottom and back. The carrier could also bear an apadravya post (for wearers so equipped) or some metal jewelry, or clip onto existing rings or such, or be designed to hold some nasty thorns near sensitive spots, brought together by internal swelling or external push button. When the lid is off, the carrier pops out with thumb pressure at most. My main doubt is the hook being a small and easily mislaid piece, and for that matter just being another piece to deal with.

Still to do: locate and add pinch shields, get better control over the lid (sweep can be an untame beast), maybe build a stainless hook into a carrier.

Mechanical isn't my primary engineering discipline, so comments and crits are appreciated.

 

Here's a little preview of what I'm working on now. Photos may be pending moderation.

It still seems scary to think about printing a hook on my machine, and I tried a few unsuccessful variations on cutting captive bead rings in half and setting them in a printed base. So, after having watched far too many Wintergatan Wednesdays on YouTube, I decided to bend 3.2mm acrylic rod for the piercing hook (not modeled here) and set it in the lower part of the device with a screw or glue. Otherwise, it is a basic helmet in two parts over the glans with a head locker.



My main goals for this device are easiest, quickest, least-hassle on/off and long, loose foreskin compatibility, yet effective prevention of self-induced orgasm, in order to enable consensual non-consent play and more intensive, more pro-erection sexual dominance paradigms. The bottom half (yellow) with hook installed slides into the piercing and cradles the back of the head, the top half (blue) slides onto posts on the bottom half from the back, and the locker is inserted from the top and engaged. I anticipate that it takes about 20-30 seconds from last stroke to locked up, vs. unpredictable minutes waiting for an ice pack, fiddling with willful testes, and so on.

I spangled the top with a few stars. When viewed from the correct angle, the device almost named itself...


Introducing Mr. Hot & Happy! (Vampire model coming in such time as my hypothetical future D-type directs me to make one.)

See it in translucent purple PETG, always my dream material for a device (in-use photos in my gallery):


Future directions: It doesn't interfere with peeing and the idea seems sound. I am wearing it, but it is not totally satisfactory. The head strap needs revision. The bottom side needs more ventilation. The front scoops way too low and badly needs dressing up.
