Dexcom one+ and G7 saver + templates
Print Profile(3)
Description
Fueled by caffeine and curiosity. ☕
Recently, I switched from the Libre sensor to the Dexcom One+ and created a saver for this sensor as well. The Dexcom One+ and G7 are the same size, so this saver can also be used for the G7.
Printed in TPU, which is flexible and more comfortable on the skin compared to stiffer materials like PLA. Printing in PLA is also possible, but it requires some post-processing—make sure to sand down sharp edges with grit 600, for example. The supports should tear off easily.
Because the holder has a slightly larger area around the sensor, I experience fewer "Compression Lows" (no guarantee, but it seems to help me).
For the adhesive, I use kinesiotape or fysiotape. The holder covers the adhesive layer of the sensor, allowing you to replace the kinesiotape without damaging the sensor's adhesive. I’ve had good results with "CureTape."
You can stick two 5 cm wide pieces of tape together and press the seam firmly (see pictures). Then, use the template to cut the shape.
This way, the saver stays securely on for up to ten days.
