An open-hardware project providing freely available, research-validated plans for a 3D-printed stethoscope costing $2.5-$5 to produce. It includes STL/3MF print files, a bill of materials, and assembly instructions, with performance comparable to the Littmann Cardiology III.
Use cases
- print a low-cost stethoscope on a 3d printer
- source affordable medical equipment for clinics
- build a research-validated stethoscope from open plans
- find a cheap alternative to a Littmann stethoscope
- assemble a diy stethoscope from silicone tubing and printed parts
When to choose
- you need a functional stethoscope at minimal cost
- you have access to a 3D printer and want open hardware
- you are equipping low-resource clinics or teaching settings
When to avoid
- you need certified, regulatory-approved medical devices for clinical diagnosis
- you cannot print with 100% infill PETG or ABS
- you need a durable long-term device and can only print in PLA
