in the video, you demonstrate with an 8mm insulin syringe and a very thin testing medium, but would the files linked in the paper work with a 10mm diameter syringe and a more viscous medication, or would they need to be modified? i would like to print this device to help with injecting a medication that's suspended in castor oil, so it's substantially thicker than the alcohol used in testing or the insulin this is presumably designed for.
@@FAST-GROUP good to know, we'll give it a shot, and can toss it into fusion360 to check dimensions before printing, thanks for the suggestion about spring strength 😎👍
Sorry not sure why they took it down - full paper is here along with file links - www.appropedia.org/Open-source_3-D_printable_autoinjector:_Design,_testing,_and_regulatory_limitations
NO NO NO! THIS IS DESIGNED FOR SUBCUTANEOUS DRUG DELIVERY AND NOT INTRAMUSCULAR AS EPINEPHRINE USUALLY IS. UPTAKE MAY BE SLOWED. DO NOT TAKE RISKS WITH LIFE SAVING MEDICINE.
Those cost savings amounts to real world progress. Good work.
Absolutely phenomenal work.

I would recommend building and testing it. You may need to go to stronger springs.

Where can i find these files? They dont seem to be in the description anymore.

Could this work as an epinephrine, auto injector
Yes - although it would need to be tested first.
