DIY Stirrups

A few months ago I told my wife about medfet desires. She never really knew much about it; but she somewhat suspected it when I purchased a speculum to help with some soreness from intercourse. It did work BTW, by the way. We fooled around with it a few times when we were dating, but not very often over the few years we've been married. So after I told her about my desires she was really supportive about it. She doesn't understand it much, or get much from it, but she isn't completely passive about it either... A few times recently she has even invited me to examine her. Usually not much more than a breast exam, quick internal and then a speculum exam. A while back I picked up some disposable exam gowns on Amazon for a reasonable price, again she sort of rolled her eyes, but was willing to try it out. So based on that we had another talk again on my desires and to try to explain to her my interests and also why I find it interesting. She understood a bit more when I said it wasn't about control or domination (it's not for me,) and my interest lies in the exploration, etc. I also asked her if she was willing to try out some stirrups, she said sure... So I decided to get moving on that...

Even before out talk I've searched/bidded on stirrups on ebay , always outbid at the last minute for more than I was willing (

Didn't realize, I'd be cut off in my post... Lost my other lines 😢 retyping from memory

So I decided to create my own since I own a 3d printer... Basically I took some bar stock metal from Lowes (Home improvement store) and built a set of stirrups for my wife. I've gone through 3 versions, and I may be doing a 4th... I'll post pictures (not issue sorry) if interested, as well as detailed instructions and STL files (or Fusion360 links if you want to edit) My wife approved and gave some positive feedback on them (changes for comfort.) They have some side to side wobble, but not much and are pretty nice. My wife said she'd be very milling to use again.

Tools required:

1) Drill press - hand drill may work but bar stock is a bit hard to drill by hand without breaking bits

2) Drill bits sizes: 3/8 inch, 5/32 inch, 3/16 inch

3) Hacksaw/Sawzall to cut the bar stock metal

4) Screw drivers

5) 3D printer - I have a Monoprice Ultimate (Wanhao d6 clone)\

6) Hot air gun/rework station - not neccessay, but will help make a nice shiny smooth finish

Supplies:

1) 3D printer filament, I used PETG, but PLA would work and first version was like this

2) 1/2 inch bar stock in square tube - Need 2 sections of about 3 feet each

3) 3/8 inch bar stock rod (non-threaded) - I purchased 2x 3 foot sections, but may be able to purchase 1 if height works.

4) 5/16 inch threaded rod

5) Nuts and washers fro the 5/16 threaded rod (x😎

6) Some M3 and M4 screws in 30mm length

Please post a link to pictures if you have them. I would love to see your project.

I recently told someone about the neat pipe based stirrups that some one on here made a long time ago. The ones that use flanges to go onto a piece of plywood between a box spring and a mattress. The stirrups unscrew and the plywood slides between the bedding...

That got me to thinning that you could make the stirrups out of the sheet of plywood that goes between the mattress and box springs. You could put hinges on them, and you could take a triangle out of the front center of the plywood, between her legs, and cut that in half and use each half to tab and hole mate with the back of the stirrup and the plywood to hold them up and stiffen them.

Plywood is nice as you can cut the foot rests to any shape you like. You can clean it up as much as you can with a router and a round over bit, and than finish the edges with gorilla tape.

The entire thing would fold flat and slide in between the mattress and box springs for keeping.

I definitely want to see what you have done with your 3D printer though. I have one and making stirrups never occured to me.
