- Brim for everything except stethoscope_body
- No supports
- ≤ .25mm layers
- PLA or PETG
Assembly
- Print all parts, including 2 earpieces
- Push a 16cm tubing length through each of the guides, straight part first, until 5mm or so extends out from the guide. You may have to push hard.
- Press the silicone ear protectors on to the earpieces
- Push the earpieces into the tubes
- Stretch the bottom of the balloon over the bottom of the bell. Try to get the balloon taut, so that no wrinkles are visible
- Connect the tubes to the body and bell
- Listen to your heart
