FreeStyle Libre 2 Sensor Holder by D3sktop

I have been using the FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor to measure blood glucose for a few months now. After two days, the sensor threatened to fall off. The daily showering as well as sleeping on the arm demands a lot from the Libre 2 adhesive. After a short research I found a web store that offers similar holders. However, this holder costs 15 euros each plus 5 plasters. After one or two months, the separate lanes began to loosen at the "wings". Since I did not want to pay 15 euros again for this simple bracket I decided to create one myself.
1 holder costs with 5 plasters around the 15 euros
10 more plasters cost 15 euros but these hold only 2 to a maximum of 3 days.
In addition, I still offer a template for the plasters.
I recommend Kineso Tape as a plaster. So that the plaster holds as long as possible, I recommend a width of 7.5 cm!
I have so far made very good experience with the Kineso Tape of "Nasara KT3B".
The patch lasts 5 to 7 days and does not irritate the skin.

Just use the template and cut the corners round. (Then the corners do not come off the skin so quickly).
From one roll (5 meters) you can create about 66 plasters.
I strongly advise you to use support structures for the sensor, so that the overhangs inside that protect the sensor from slipping out are present as much as possible.
I recommend TPU with a hardness of 95A or harder!
The holder can not be printed with PLA or PETG. Because these materials are too hard!
