Thank you for this design- question.
I haven't printed the med and small version yet. Is the whole model scaled down or is the anchor and hole the same size as the large with the mouthpiece scaled down?
I'm taking these to my doctors office tomorrow for his evaluation and will report here. I've also remixed this with UD HansNest version.
Thank you for your efforts. You are truly making a difference, everyone here is.

The anchor and hole are the same size for each - based on overlaying all three in my slicer (that portion lines up).
