I haven't seen/heard someone use the word obtuse since Andy Dufresne told warden Norton off.


Guess I came at it from the wrong angle.

Hello :)

Considering Custom IEMs and since my wallet allows it, I got tempted by some K10.

Could anyone help me with the way to get a print of my ear canal for the shell?

I most likely won't have the chance to go to the affiliated prothesist in the UK (please consider expanding the countries in Europe!) so I will have to go to some specialist on my own.

Should I ask for some digital print to send you so you can 3D print it, or is it only 'old way' with sending the print by mail?

Thanks a lot for your assistance.

The "old way."   AKA, the tried and proven way.     
 
One of the issues with 3d scanning is that the data must be useable by the equipment that companies have.  For example, a 3D scan taken by an audiologist, using a scanner provided by Siemens hearing aids, can only be used by Siemens Heaing Aids to manufacture the hearing aids.   You couldn't send the data to Widex or Phonak to have hearing aids built and I do believe the same situation applies to CIEMs as well.

Ok thanks for the replies.
Any advice on how to send them?

Silicone is rather resistant and has some memory foam but I was wondering if there were some liquid/gel to make sure no harm is done to the prints during their long and harsh journey.

The idea is to have a recipient with said neutral liquid/gel which would mitigate the shocks received, hopefully better than some foam.

Some people send the impressions in a small Tupperware container and that offers adequate protection.  I advise you to send ear mold impression photos for Noble to review before you ship them.  As if they impressions are not adequate, then you will have wasted a lot of time and money.

As it is, we have many people stateing that our IEM/Universal carry case is too large and they would prefer a smaller carry case.  Some even state they do not use the carry case because it is too large, and prefer to use a carry case offered by our competitors.
 
A partition system would require a larger carry case....   which isn't the direction that people in the past, have indicated they would like us to take.

 
Personalized engraved case would be a bonus for customs. Just sayin' :wink:
