I've designed a new cage, curious on experiences with glans only devices.

I posted this on reddit, but I thought I would also ask it on some of the tried and true message groups.

I've grown tired of the discomfort that comes along with ball trap devices and I'm not sure I want to go the piercing route. I've been working on designing a glans only device. I believe I've come up with a novel improvement that makes them far more secure. I've been working on a few prototypes and there is quite a bit of holding power. I've pulled as hard as I was comfortable pulling and can't get it off when it is locked.

I know there are other products on the market. Before I do more than actually just design one for myself, I was curious what experiences people had with them. What worked and what didn't work? Would anybody be interested in a more secure glans only device? Should I just design my personal cage or should I look into making it available to others?

Please feel free to chime in with any experiences, good or bad you've had. If you wouldn't be interested in a glans only device let me know why not. I really am just trying to decide how much effort I want to put into producing the design. What I have now works fine for me. I haven't been able to remove it without unlocking, but If I were to offer it to a wider audience I would need to put effort into refining the design and lining up manufacturers.

Interesting design. I've been experimenting and so far I've found the weak point is the top of the glans. Other devices are either rigid, or use a rung the pivots. The rigid devices pull of quite easily and the pivoting ring works bettwr but still comes off with a few pounds of pressure.

I've made my ring pivot but I've moved the pivot point. This creates pressure on both the the x and y planes so it essentially squishes the ring down into the shaft and gives more "bite" behind the glans. It also increases the downward force quicker than lateral force. I'm still prototyping, but so far I'm have very positive results. I've pulled with near double the pressure where other devices fail. It's about the limit of where I feel comfortable pulling.
 
This looks a good work, I have never seen a fully working glans cage without PA ring. If you are able to build this, it will be revolutionary. Keep working and update us

I've been wearing a prototype for 2 days now. I do not believe I can pull it off without unlocking. I have tried multiple times but have always stopped because of the discomfort. I am going to spend more time trying it myself, but so far it has been secure. I've slept in it and had multiple erections without any issues or discomfort.

Assuming all continues to go well, I hope to extend it to a larger audience of testers in March. I need to feel confident in the design and get a few professionally printed. I want to see what it will cost to produce a full set and make sure the quality is good.

I intend to include a full set with multiple sizes of glans rings. The glans ring measurement is a critical point and 1 mm can make a difference. The rings can be changed, so providing rings in multiple sizes allows users to make sure they get the most secure fit.

Based off initial research, I think I can produce on demand and make it worth my while at a price point between 120 and 150 for a full kit including multiple size glans rings. Depending on popularity I could probably have sets mass produced and ship quicker, but they would need to be popular to make that worth the effort.

Very interesting. But when You put the glans ring on, you must be rigid or flaccid ?

The glans ring is it smooth or it has some notches or spike to keep it from slipping away?

on top there is space to insert a 10mm sounding device ?

Everything has to go on while flaccid. You can't get in on while erect.

There are no spikes. The ring is mostly smooth.

No idea on the sounding rode. I have no experience with them.

Nice work. I like the prototypes and the cad skills. The open design is great for cleanliness.

It does seem that with something long and pointy you would be able to work the glans out from the front. Getting back in without unlocking might be a different challenge. I know for my device I have to use a chopstick or similar to work the glans through the device opening when putting it on. You might consider more but smaller openings on the head to minimize the ability to use tools to manipulate the glans for removal and replacement or for using the stocking method for putting back on.

Btw I printed my latest titanium one off of craftcloud and it was pretty affordable. Not sure if you have checked them out yet. I could see that being beautiful in metal after you’re happy with the protos. I bet for a bit more security without adding a piercing, a tether spout or similar could be easily added if one wished. Tube devices are definitely more practical for everyday wear and activities. Looking forward to seeing your final results!
 
Very interesting if it doesn't come off by accidentally pulling or sports and if it's impossible to put the penis back in without unlocking
 
Also @beheld does it use a standard Burgwächter lock? It would be great because if you have bought a necklace jewellery key then you can reuse that lock in any device taking the same type of lock
