About this model

This foot roller set packs more than 10 designs into one travel version, so you can try a gentler indented roller one day and a much firmer knobbed one the next without starting a whole new project. I spent five months working on it, and that range is the point: different feet and different days call for different pressure.

The print itself is straightforward. It is a 1-disc PLA profile, and none of the models I have printed needed supports, which was my goal from the start.

• Profile: 1-disc PLA profile

Designs in the set

I rate effectiveness on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the most effective. Here is how each design in the set compares.

• Algerian Foot Roller: a sequence of indentations instead of bumps, for a less aggressive, calmer feel. Scale: 4.
• American Foot Roller: a series of protrusions in an uncurving line that repeats over the face of the cylinder. Scale: 8.
• Australian Foot Roller: an indented model with 8 wide cavities in its cylindrical body. Scale: 4.
• Brazilian Foot Roller: a large number of indentations, spaced intermittently throughout the design. Scale: 7.
• British Foot Roller: one of my first designs, an array of ring-like shapes repeated into a cylinder shape, and it prints extremely well with no supports. Scale: 5.
• Canadian Foot Roller: 8 vertical depressions with a very effective feeling. Scale: 8.
• Egyptian Foot Roller: a great number of depressions, though not as effective as some of the others, and I would only recommend it if you have a relatively modern printer from the last 3 years, because there are a lot of overhangs. Scale: 3.
• German Foot Roller: a lot more bumps that protrude more than usual, in a very haphazard form, so a newer printer is a safer bet here too. Scale: 9.
• Italian Foot Roller: 16 knobs, extremely effective, and one of my personal favorites. Scale: 10.
• Japanese Foot Roller: very obvious protrusions and knobs, for a foot roller that really gets to work. Scale: 10.
• Polish Foot Roller: 4 columns of knobs in an even straight line, with a pretty good effectiveness rate from the evident protrusions. No score was stated for this one.
• Taiwanese Foot Roller: an aesthetic, abstract design, with vertical columns that go nearly from top to bottom. No score was stated for this one.

Tips

• Test a few first: the trade-off is choice overload at first, since you will probably want to test a few before you settle on a favorite.
• Newer printer for the Egyptian and German designs: the Egyptian design has a lot of overhangs, and the German design has bumps that protrude more than usual in a very haphazard form, so a newer printer is a safer bet for both.

If you print one, let me know how it felt and which design you reached for most. I would love to hear which level of intensity worked for you.
