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.

    Also, I would be extremely concerned about germs and things getting into the layer cracks. FDM printing is okay for single-use, but they can’t be cleaned properly for prolonged use.

    Somebody catching something because they took their medecine from an inhaler that’s been floating around in their purse/pocket/backpack… is going to prove problematic. I know that medical devices require strict testing in the US.

    Still it’s a remarkably slick device. I’m just not sure FDM printing is the way to go here.
