Some people with diverse life situations - neurodivergence, anxiety, chronic pain, etc. - appear to find relief through "stimming." This can be compared to fidget relief or massage relief: it often involves manipulating some sensory toy to stimulate tactile nerves as a distraction from the problem or a disruption of the problem.

Do you know someone who could benefit from this? Show them you love them with this heart-shaped "ouchie" stim toy... or check out my original model.

I printed the photo example with PLA, but it might be interesting to try this with TPU as well. No supports were needed. I did add a 5mm brim, but this may not have been necessary.
