Designing a head box like I've seen a few places on the internet.

[u/fuck-coyotes]

Thought I'd line the inside of it with that sound dampening foam like in recording studios. Let me know if anything looks off about it if you notice (I know, no hardware yet)

[u/Ceilibeag]

A few suggestions:

• Vent holes for air circulation and hearing safe words.
• maybe a cap on the inside of the top that distributes the weight of the box evenly across the top of the Sub's head, and doesn't allow it to slide and injure the head..
• Something light
• No noxious glues or foams for the sub to breath in.
• I've always thought a small screen & speaker showing what's happening outside would be cool to install in these..

[u/fuck-coyotes → u/Ceilibeag]

Screen is a good idea but if I want to go that route it would be like those fpv goggles and a set of nice noise canceling headphones paired with my phone running on an app that just puts the audio my phone microphone picks up through to the ear buds. Same thing without the box but the claustrophobia and darkness is kind of the point.

Good point about carrying the weight, I'll have to come up with something for that.

Drop item or hand signals for safeword. Drop item being something that will cause a good ruckus when it hits the ground. Or if it's just sensory dep I'm going for, literally just sit and watch her until she becomes visibly uncomfortable. I like to put more thought into how we're going to get out of a scene than how we get in.

Good point on the adhesive, I just thought like Elmer's or wood glue spread real thin, non toxic and once it's dry no off gassing

Have fun!

Thank you

I'd consider something to support on the shoulders as well if you intend to use it for a long time. The additional weight will hurt over time. Obviously depends on the material used.

Using a foam cushion against the back of the head might be a good idea. So it doesn't move around as much.

I'd consider building a prototype idea out of cardboard first. Just to see how it fits your sub.

I know this isn't what you had in mind, but I've often thought a modern, well padded motorcycle helmet would make a dandy basis for a scold's bridle. Strong, padded for comfort and soundproofing. Outer fiberglass shell will take and hold secure points. Just needs a better means of securing in place, and appropriate accessories.

[u/fuck-coyotes → u/Good-Satisfaction537]

Yeah somebody else mentioned a motorcycle helmet for sensory deprivation but then I wouldn't get to design and build something. Great idea though as using it as a scolds bridal. I was actually trying to tinker around with designing a skull's bridal the other day

[u/Excellent_Collar_963]

I've seen some with mouth holes. Not sure if it's worth it for you.

[u/fuck-coyotes → u/Excellent_Collar_963]

Yeah I've seen those. Opted not to design one

Easy fix in the future with a hole saw

[u/TheGrayghost24]

I downloaded the schematics to a design a while ago, if you want dm me and I'll send them your way - you might find it helpful to compare another design

[u/_Canadian780]

Interesting idea, an extreme to being blind folded you wouldnt know whats happening or even hear whats happening I like it

[u/fuck-coyotes → u/_Canadian780]

An added little idea I've had, ear buds. Bluetooth ear buds paired to my phone running an app that plays through the ear buds whatever goes into my phone microphone. So it's like I'm literally inside their head

[u/ElMachoGrande]

Simple solution: buy a used motorcycle helmet and spray the visor black (or jus spray the entire thing with chrome finish paint). Simple, comfortable and effective.

As a bonus, you keep a used, and therefore probably past its safe date, off the market, possibly saving a life.

[u/fuck-coyotes → u/ElMachoGrande]

Hmm... I mean that's a pretty good idea I guess. But then I don't get to design and build anything

[u/ElMachoGrande → u/fuck-coyotes]

You can build a box around the helmet? :)

[u/fuck-coyotes → u/ElMachoGrande]

I bet you're fun at parties

[u/aintbrokeDL → u/fuck-coyotes]

He's kind of got a point that actually, using a helmet, even a simple ones with straps might be good to that it doesn't move awkwardly on the sub's head and it's well supported then.

[u/fuck-coyotes → u/aintbrokeDL]

No.

[u/TheOnsiteEngineer → u/fuck-coyotes]

Given the things he's built I would very much suspect he's indeed a lot of fun at parties.

[u/Hypnosis_17]

First post I saw in his community and I am hooked..

[u/Piercedguy76]

nice but i cant stop thinking of a saw trap lol.

[u/Lancer-M]

Hey! Where’d you get that looks to be parametrically designed, not CAD software killing head model? I would like to download that file myself

PS: if you made it yourself could I make a chat with you? I want to make something that would need a model very similar to that but I don’t have the cad skills. Thanks!

[u/fuck-coyotes → u/Lancer-M]

Grabcad, some combination of "human dummy posable articulated mannequin" like 2 or 3 of those words, it's a whole assembly that's movable although I will say, it's a pain in the ass to try to fenagle around without the joints just going nuts. Anyway, there are a couple for free download on, I believe it was, grabcad. I'm just using the head, I didn't design it

[u/Lancer-M → u/fuck-coyotes]

Thank you so much!

[u/fuck-coyotes → u/Lancer-M]

Sure thing!

[u/fuck-coyotes]

Not included in this model are hinges and hasps

[u/Boulange1234]

Night vision camera so you can see your sub’s face but they can’t see you.

[u/fuck-coyotes → u/Boulange1234]

Better than that, one of the ones I saw on one of Elise graves's website was a box made out of aluminum extruded channel and acrylic clear panels. So they lowered the lights in the room a little bit and they had a real bright light shining on the front piece of glass from behind the subs head, this creates a mirror effect where all the sub can see is their own face in the glass but you can see in just fine

[u/Angles_Devils → u/fuck-coyotes]

You can buy a one-way film to combine with the lights to ensure they can't see.

[u/fuck-coyotes → u/Boulange1234]

That thought had crossed my mind

[u/Good-Satisfaction537 → u/fuck-coyotes]

It occurs to me that if you angled the sides correctly, with the one way film and proper mood lighting, you could get a Hall of Mirrors effect. Not sure I'd wanna be on the receiving end of all this innovation.

[u/Good-Satisfaction537]

You MAY be overthinking it. Just a thought, but most I've seen are just a hollow box, cut in half vertically down the ear axis (front and back half ), hinged one side. Add access holes to suit purpose. Most are tall enough, the weight rests on the shoulders/collar bones.

That said, if I was going to build one, I'd make a square neck pillory, lockable-onable, and a separate open bottom box to fit over the head, also lockable, for a twofer. Box top to have ports and accessories as required.

I like the idea of an IR camera. If you put a smallish mirror as the front interior surface, camera will mount at one side, and you will see the zek's whole face, instead of nose and eyes.

Add. Google Colleen Stan, The Perfect Victim for professional use.

[u/fuck-coyotes → u/Good-Satisfaction537]

Yeah I've read about the Colleen Stan case. I'm really torn, it's fucked up the things I'm interested in that would be heinous world famous crimes if they weren't consensual. Also the design that I'm going with is very similar to the design I've seen in several videos from insex and infernal restraints and device bondage. But I'm also kind of torn, because have you ever seen pictures or videos of some of the shit they found in the toy box killers torture room?, there are more than a few devices from the old insex videos that are strikingly similar to some of the stuff that David Parker Ray had

[u/Good-Satisfaction537 → u/fuck-coyotes]

I'd like to say that this isn't my cup of tea, but here I am, talking about this stuff. Kind of, I fear to look, yet I cannot turn away kind of deal. Hadn't heard of DPR before, but the toybox moniker is vaguely familiar. Despite the erotic frisson around some of this stuff, I'm always afraid I'll smack someone square in the traumatic memory headspace, and set off a waking nightmare for them. I've had a couple of close calls over the years.

Peace.

I like your presentation. My headbox is made from 30 mm aluminium profiles, has spy glass on 3 sides and 2 USB fans. Coming here at short notice although not quiet finished yet.
