How do I deal with yellowing UV resin, I often use it outdoors

this makes sense. I am glad I did this now.It depends on how the shell should fit on the ear, Yes, it's trimmed to make it more comfortable on the tragus. Shell which has those, usually is thicker, the faceplate extend outward beyond the tragus. And also due to the shape of the ear canal itself, its pointing forward and a little bit upward. The nozzle has to point forward, but the shell has to sit behind the tragus, thats where the trims come.
That's also why those huge universal shell found on thingiverse, which has straight nozzle doesn't sit very comfortably on the ear.
small/thin shell such as shure doesn't have those because their faceplate doesn't extend outward beyond the tragus.
when lacquering, (with lack3, cant speak for other dreve lacquers) cure the lacquer for a minute or so. Any more will yellow them.https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oX7fBF-enCyL1vnP_3-iEyvkSzdqJeiH/view?usp=drivesdk

Which drivers are you going to use, because to my eye the shell cavity is quite small for multi drivers uses. Maybe make the body thicker and the tube shorter somehow.working on a mk3 now.... anyways, here is an STL for that one. Let me know how it fits. I dont have a 3d printer. I am guessing it that where the ear has a "fin", seperating the main part of the ear from the concha, it will not rub. I dont know for sure. Who knows.

edit - this is the right ear only. If it fits okay, let me know, and ill mirror it and publish the other one.
yeah, I think you are right. The tube is the right size, but if you look at the 2pin socket, you can see how big it is. Ill overlay it on some impressions once I am done with mk3.Which drivers are you going to use, because to my eye the shell cavity is quite small for multi drivers uses.

I don’t think the nozzle should be long, like maximum 3-4mm or something. If it’s too long you could accidentally jam it to your ears to hard that may leads to injury.yeah, I think you are right.

I am doing mk3 design inside a scan of my ear. This scan has no wax on it, so if it fits this, it should fit most medium size ears. I am adding a tiny bit of concha support too. The stem of mk2 has a second axis of bend as well. You’ll see when I upload it.
Mk2 (and 1) were both completely blind, with the measurements done roughly. I literally held a caliper up to a shell and thought “yeah, that’s good enough”
I am doing what 64 is doing, which looks like 6-7, and including that little ramp-base 9-10mm.I don’t think the nozzle should be long, like maximum 3-4mm or something. If it’s too long you could accidentally jam it to your ears to hard that may leads to injury.
thanks! I am working on another reiteration. I think it will be a little better then.The shell is good
Make the body protrude a little bit outside...to have slightly more shape
And once the shell is made
Try changing its design for more originality and convenience.
By the way
Did you complete the diy Tia driver?
