Summary
My friend is a performer who wears a G6, so we made this for her to cover her sensor and match her costume; printed then covered in rhinestones, will upload the final pics ASAP! We've made a few of these so wanted to share since its now pretty refined. Many thanks to Funky_118 and mr_third_dimension for their excellent designs, it made the mash-up easier!
Supports on print bed only with organic supports for ease of removal. Printed on a PRUSA MK3.9 with an 0.4 nozzle at 0.20 mm Speed setting.
Printing with 3 perimeters makes the fins a little more stable; the fins go under an overpatch to match her skin, and the fins keep the overpatch from removing her sensor after a performance so she can take it off without losing that sensor.
I've printed this in a few materials for daily use as well without sequins, and it works well in PLA, Silk PLA and TPU.

Bling & Rhinestones
This is a great option to bling out for formal events if you don't feel like spending the $40 for one off of Etsy.
- Get a rhinestone pen from Amazon and life is MUCH easier than trying to use tweezers. - - - Pro tip: Diamond painting wax helps with the open end of the pen and makes things go faster, you can get it off of Temu for $1.25 for 6 of them.
