This week my vibration pods came in the mail. Two of them are the size I expected but two are much smaller so I will have to see if the smaller ones vibrate enough for them to be useful. I have decided that I am going to make my sleeve more narrow so that it can be used easily on other parts of the body and focus on more specific spots.
My biggest difficulty right now is figuring out how I can use the massage motor because it is huge and it seems like trying to remake it smaller would take too long. I also have yet to figure out if muscle wire is going to work because from the research it seems like it gets too hot and doesn’t contract enough to really increase compression significantly.
This week I am going to play with the motors to see which sizes work best. I will also order a high quality neoprene fabric to use for the sleeve and find a heating pad that works well. I want to have my first sleeve pattern complete as well
