I don't use sip-and-puff, but can the mouth piece be 3D printed?
I don't know what its made out of, or if its like a straw or a mouth piece.
Is there a photo to see what they look like? Could a dentist mold your
mouth, etc.

Bummer. It sucks when something works and you can't find a
replacement. I am having the same problem with some of my vent
circuit parts. Some of the old parts work better for me but I can't
find replacements.

Yeah, those don't work for me, Jim. Every time I've searched for
sip and puff mouthpieces, that's what I find and usually that's
all I find. I'm sure they are out there somewhere but who knows
what they were originally used for.

I think it got rejected by the list with the photo attached.
I've been using these dental "saliva ejectors" with my sip and
puff. They are a flexible tube about 5" long with wire embedded so
it keeps the shape when you bend it.

Hello, Folks. I was wondering if you might help searched for
something. I have a sip and puff controlled wheelchair and
back around 2005 I had the perfect mouthpieces for this chair.
A few years ago I got down to the last mouthpiece and went
online to order more, only I couldn't find the same thing.
I've searched a number of times the past couple years and
can't come up with anything close. It's possible that these
were never designed to be sip and puff wheelchair mouthpieces,
but I'd be more than grateful if someone could locate them for
me. They are "L-shaped", made of a very sturdy plastic
composite, giving them a little flex but you couldn't clamp it
closed with the tightest bite, and there is a "doughnut"
molded into one end. The attached picture is of the last one I
had. It's a little warped because someone tried to wash it in
a dishwasher, but it would normally be about 5" long, again,
L-shaped, and has a doughnut molded onto one end. Thanks for
any help… Jeff
