Retractable Vampire Fangs – Tongue Lever

🧛 Real retractable vampire fangs you can print at home. Push the tongue paddle and both fangs drop down over your canines. Push it down and they tuck back up. There are no springs or hardware, just 3 printed parts.   How it works Two low-profile caps sit on your back molars. A single yoke hinges through both caps: thin curved arms run along the outside of your gums to the fangs, and a tongue lever crosses behind them. Press up on the paddle with your tongue and the arms rotate, dropping both fangs about 5 mm, straight down. The arms hug the gum line, so your lips don’t bulge.   Two Sizes Included   Both are sized from published dental arch measurements. Every mouth is different, so the caps are lined with moldable plastic for a custom fit.   Every file is already oriented for the print bed. Print settings (FDM) Food Safe Plastics Recommended, and FDM printing works just great but Resin is probably better, I just don't have one. 0.4 mm nozzle, 0.12–0.16 mm layers 3+ walls, high infill (100% for the yoke) Caps: no supports needed Yoke: prints upside down; supports only under the tongue lever strap Assembly   Lay the yoke’s axles across the open tops of the caps and drop them into the channels and then insert in mouth and bite down to hold it with the first set of molars.   But… If you really want to take it up a notch: Lay the yoke’s axles across the open tops of the caps and drop them into the channels Soften moldable thermoplastic beads (InstaMorph or similar), press a small amount into each cap, and bite down gently on your back molars to mold the fit. Once the caps are on, your molars hold the axles in place. Tongue up = fangs down. Push the lever back = fangs up. Safety This is a costume prop, not a dental appliance. Small and broken parts are a serious choking hazard. Not for children and something like instamorph or other similar non-toxic products to attach the caps firmly to the fangs is highly recommended FDM prints are porous, so wash before and after and it's better as a one-time use product. Take it out to eat or drink. Basically, I am telling you this is not the safest thing you will find on makerworld.  Be safe if you choose to use these.
