3D-Printed Tapers

Want to stretch your piercings but can't justify buying new tapers for every size? Print em! This is an even easier project than the 3D-Printed Bicycle Handlebar Caps I did before. The same resources are required, a TechShop Membership and the 3D Printer SBU (Or access to a 3D Printer) as well as some sort of design software like Autodesk Inventor. 

Designed and Printed at TechShop San Jose 

It couldn't be simpler.

Well it could, but this is a good way to start off. 

For this print I used skeinforge and the Thingomatic makerbot. Software is replicator G, used default settings without a raft. 

And that's pretty much it! With this basic step-by-step one can create all sorts of shapes and sizes of tapers or plugs depending on your need!
