The base model is a size 10 and I went through and did test prints to get as close as I could to general ring sizes to make things easier for folks to print. You may need to adjust as you see fit for shrinkage and other things but as it stands, it is close enough for a base!
These types of rings are used for all manner of finger issues but is generally seen for hypermobility, EDS (Ehlers-Danlos syndrome), trigger finger, swan neck, etc. Generally it is recommended these be printed in resin due to PLA and other plastics being much more prone to harboring bacteria due to the layers, however they can generally be printed in whatever material. I have personally done them in resin, PLA, and PETG. You can generally fit two of these per finger.

This design is a remix from disser on Printables.
I tend to print with the "wings" up and using tree supports. It's a simple print but it needs support for sure.
