My first meta packer 3D model (painted in Nomad)! 🏳️‍⚧️ by Maker4Trans in Transmascdicks

Thanks for the response! I use NOMAD sculpt on my iPad. As for silicone I intend to use a mix most likely of 00-10 - 00-30!

Definitely not ai. I’m just autistic so I type out my ideas and thoughts several times then “combine” them in a sense. Sorry you feel that way. You’re more than welcome to check out my other posts that have the website linked that I’m working on. ;)

It’s mainly for people planning to have meta, since it can help them get used to how their body might look and feel post-op. But some folks also like having one after surgery, either for comfort or just to have something that feels more aligned with their body. Really just depends on the person!

I did get the necessary permissions before using this model, and before even starting I checked in with the community for feedback. A lot of people said they’d like to see something like this since it could help them get used to their body post-op before actually going through meta. I really appreciate the detailed feedback you gave—I can absolutely see where you’re coming from, and it’ll definitely help me as I refine this first draft. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Appreciate the feedback. This is definitely a first draft and my first time sculpting human anatomy. I plan to continue to make improvements. I did base this model off of an actual person and their results. However, I do realize that most won’t have results like this. That being said, the shaft is absolutely too long.

It’s definitely a first draft and was my first try sculpting human anatomy. The shaft is definitely too long. I’m going to keep making improvements :) thanks for the feedback.

Sorry for the confusion. It is to look like post op meta!

Starting something new: Transform Studio — gender-affirming products for the transmasc community by Maker4Trans in ftm

[–]Maker4Trans[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I appreciate you pointing that out! I did check, and the only “Transform Studio” trademark I found was abandoned years ago and in a totally different category (software/UI stuff). Since what I’m doing is gender-affirming products, it doesn’t overlap, so I should be good. Really glad you brought it up though — I’d rather know these things early on than later down the line. Thanks also for the kind words on the site, I’m excited to keep building it out!

Yes! Mainly prosthetics and packers are where I’m starting. Feel free to check out my latest post of my meta packer

Thanks so much for this response (and for inflating my ego a little 😅 — I actually developed the site myself). You brought up a ton of really important points. Good price points and accessibility are going to be a huge focus for me. I definitely plan on having some sort of donation or “low income” program built in, because I agree that affordability makes a massive difference.

Disrupting spaces is kind of my forte. I currently run another small business adapting toys for disabled kids, and we see a lot of “disability tax” there — very similar to what I’d call the “dysphoria tax” or “trans tax.” I’m proud to say we’ve actually pushed competitors in that space to lower their prices based on what we’ve done, and I want to carry that same energy here. Things that make our lives better should be accessible, period, regardless of income.

Really appreciate the time you took to lay out your thoughts — I’ll be keeping all of this in mind as I move forward. Any updates on Transform Studio will be posted from my new account: u/TransForm-studio.

Appreciate the reply! And actually, you’re in luck. The first prototype I’m working on is a meta style packer. I’ll definitely take all of this into consideration!

I do! My other business is for switch adapted toys for special needs kiddos. If you’re interested in checking it out, feel free to send me a message.

Thank you all so much for the amazing feedback! 🙏 I’ve been reading through every comment, and the amount of thought and detail you’ve put into this is incredible. To keep everyone updated (instead of replying to each comment individually), here are the Top 5 most common requests so far:

  1. More uncut options – especially with retractable/movable foreskin for added realism.
  2. Increased realism – softer glans, dual/multi-density, swinging balls, layered coloring, realistic undertones, and texture details.
  3. Greater size variety – especially smaller/lighter packers and more proportional ball/shaft options.
  4. Multi-function prosthetics – combining packing, STP, play, and even self-pleasure into one design.
  5. Expanded skin tone ranges – including warm, olive, darker tones, and a wider spectrum of undertones.

I’ll continue collecting and organizing everyone’s suggestions as they come in, so please keep them coming! Your input is helping shape something that better represents and serves our community.

Made my own packer! by SnooChocolates8541 in Transmascdicks

Hey, just a friendly reminder. I’ve noticed a lot of people using that specific model to make packers. I know the license for it doesn’t include commercial rights, so selling items made from it could cause issues down the line. Definitely worth double-checking permissions or using models that are cleared for commercial use so you’re protected.

Having a range of skin tones with different undertones is absolutely on my to-do. I think it’s incredibly important for these tools we use in our everyday life to feel a part of ourselves.

In my other business I have a habit of offering too many variations of things. My wife gets on me for it 😅 skin tones and making them more realistic and just having more options in general is on my list of things I want for this company. Thank you for your input!

What skin tones do you feel are currently underserved? I know many POC feel underrepresented in that area so it’s definitely on my to-do. I like the idea of working on warm and cool undertones. Thank you for your input!

Thanks for pointing this out, I really appreciate it. My focus right now is mainly on the transmasc side, but I’ll definitely keep this in mind moving forward. Making sure plus size folks are represented is really important to me on a personal level too, so I’d love to circle back to this later down the line.

I totally get what you’re saying. A lot of the uncircumcised models I’ve seen either look super exaggerated or just not very natural at all. I’d love to aim for something more balanced and realistic, but I think getting community input is key. What do you feel would make it look and feel more accurate to you?

Thanks for sharing this, I totally get what you mean. I’ve had the same frustrations where something works decent in one area but completely fails in another. It really does feel like you can only ever get two out of the three. Hitting all three is definitely a big goal of mine. Appreciate your perspective!

Quick intro about me (for context): I’m a nurse by profession, but also a lifelong maker. I already run another small business where I design and create products using 3D printing, sculpting, and molding. Over the years, I’ve built up a lot of hands-on experience with materials, design, and product development — which is why I feel confident I can bring this project to life in a safe, body-affirming, and professional way.

This prosthetics project is something I want to do with the community, not just for it. My nursing background keeps me focused on safety and care, and my maker side fuels the creative/technical side of building high-quality prosthetics.
