Hi,

got ALS, 24h mechanical breathing.

I can not move, but still speak.

Is there a 3d-Model of the fove?

I have a 3d-Printer (wanhao4s) and want to mod the fove and use it with one of my breathingmasks.

  Hi Markus,

  We have had people 3D print modified parts before but I'm not sure the extend of what's possible, so I've forwarded this request to our hardware team. I will get back to you regarding whether we have a 3D-printer usable model that you can modify, or otherwise have any other suggestions on modding your FOVE0 to fit.

  Hi Jeff, Thanks for your fast respone!

  .stl and .skp (i know, uncool, but 4 free) - files are common.

  The FOVE fits, but presses the breathing mask down.

  Maybe it is easier, than i think.

  Hi Markus,

  The outer casing file is already publicly available here:

  However, we have a more detailed file for you, as per below, but haven't gone through the channels to clear it for public release. If you (or anyone else who wants it privately) emails support@fove-inc.com and mentions this thread, we'll send it over by email.

  

   

  There are also some teardowns we've seen on the internet that may be informative. Just keep in mind that you're responsible if you break your FOVE.

  That said, we love to see people doing neat things, so if you do successfully mod your FOVE, post more pictures!

  I did send the request. Perhaps it got lost?

  The model does not have closed plates right and left side in Simplify 3d.

  Strange, we didn't receive it, hopefully Zendesk isn't being buggy. For now I can post it here though:
