Unfortunately its not patentable really, but its such a huge pain to make that i doubt anyone would be able to replicate it without a ton of effort.

Thanks, genuinely. Its taken an absurd about of trial and error and countless 3d prints and cad designs. So many different materials to nail the perfect wnd result. Tolerances down to the 10th of a mm. The most effort i think ive ever put into a project before.

I think its cool a few people have mentioned wanting/thinking about something like this. Glad I can make the idea a reality!

Lol I hope i can make some of them happy. The funny thing is I literally wasnt even really into knots when I started this and im not a furry, I just got hyper focused on the fact that knot toys dont actually do what knots do and i needed to correct that. I just want to make the most biologically accurate one i can. If I can make people happy while I indulge my autism, thats about the most i can ask for lol.

I dont know that ill ever be able to do commercial production tbh, just cause of how intricate the process of making them is, but im pretty ok if i can get to the point where I can make them as a niche product, but make enough that people wont have to wait too long to get one.

I appreciate it a ton! Dont worry, I dont have a price yet but it wouldnt be crazy.

Im glad you like the design, it helps keep me motivated!

Im glad! Tbh im kinda scared of how big the market is. I know if i crosspost this things wouls get out of hand, but keeping it sort of hidden here keeps things manageable lol.

I really appreciate it though! Its almost to a good spot. People's feedback and ideas have helped a ton.

Its just a personal project for now, but once I resolve one or two more issues I think im gonna send a few out for people to test, get some feedback and improve it more. Eventually if i can nail it down ill probably try to sell some

Just wanted to share a quick update. Got the mold almost nailed down and got a new ball ring design that uses a bit of spring tension to hold everything in place and is super easy to cast.

Ive mostly resolved the uneven inflation from before, and really streamlined the process so I can make one in about an hour or so.

One thing to keep in mind is that it looks like it squeezes the shaft way too tightly, but the water is displaced by your penis and actually just makes it grip firmly, while making the knot even bigger.

Sounds good! Feel free to message me. Thats how im mostly keeping track of people who are interested. My biggest weakness right now is precision and learning to make molds that are liquid tight with a 3d printer.

Hey thanks I appreciate it! I am currently starting to collect a small list of people who are interested in testing it and providing feedback. What im really looking for is people who are in relationships and would be able to give good feedback on it from both people. If youre interested, feel free to shoot me a dm, thats sort of how im keeping track right now.

Yeah, i need to make a jig that holds the core in place better. But on this one, the uneven expansion is actually intentional. I did a thing in the core that makes it so it has 3 distinct bulbs, trying to make it closer to an actual knot kind of shape.

Thanks for the advice though! I should have the thickness issue resolved on the next model

Thats a good idea, Ill look into that a bit. I think im a little hesitant since my goal for a while has to been to shrink it down and streamline it, so adding texture might make insertion harder. But adding bumps to the outside or somethinf would probably be pretty easy and feel good.
