Context

Maybe my ears have an unusual shape, maybe I'm asking too much: I was unable to run without having to reposition my earbuds every 5 minutes.
Since tapping/pressing the earbud is sending a pause command, it was annoying.
I decided to add some hooks but I was unable to find a suitable 3D model.

 

Modeling

Designed for Xiaomi Redmi Buds 4.

My earbud form factor is an oblong shape defined by:
- Circle diameter: 14.6mm
- Length: 20.2mm

You should be able to insert the earbuds inside the hooks without interference with the microphone sensors.

 

Models

"Flex" model is to be printed with flexible filament :
- No tolerance for inserting the earbuds
- Narrow space around the ears 

"PLA" model :
- 0.4mm tolerance for inserting the earbuds
- more space around the ears
The PLA can be heated to be molded around the ears.

Check you don't have any sharp edges to avoid discomfort or hurt your ears.

I was afraid a TPU printed piece would be too much flexible, that is the reason for the PLA model. 
I was wrong, ultimately, the piece printed with flexible filament is better : 
- more comfortable
- no involuntary disassembly of the earbud from the hook
- the hook can be stored flat (PLA needs to be molden)

 

Printing parameters for 0.6 mm nozzle 

- 2 perimeters
- No infill
- No supports
- Ironing of top surface
