Thanks for the suggestion. On the old head and shoulders version there are some additional belt slots for further securing however, after testing the old i love you hand, found it to be secure enough and then i made this design where a cinch strap holds the handy in the hand and the fingers and or the additional wedge piece helps to secure against a users body which prevents the bobbing motion/adds to the vertical stability. However, its not really to be used when walking around - users should stand/sit/lay still and enjoy the hands-free joy etc.
I hope someone here can test this out and report back to confirm. I would but am ofcourse biased.
I’ve added a revised head and shoulders version in thingiverse for use with any standard belt instead of the tactical belt as that can be an added cost guys may wish to spare. the side slots are first for the cinch strap around the handy and second for the waist belt going in and out the same slots. The top slot could be for those wanting to add a belt brace/suspender though i think it could be ‘over the top’
This probably may bobble if not tightened against the body enough…
@Abdulis Really cool mounts! Would you happen to share the file for the handy’s case? I’m trying to design a way to connect the handy to a pump to create a Venus 2000 type device and can’t find a way to get the right dimensions anywhere.
Hi thanks - i just wish more folks would test print it to help improve further sure; Please join the handy discord and find it pinned in the customizations thread.
I now use a PVC tube bracket (70mm fits the handy perfectly) connected to a Stanley vise.

I like the feeling of a sleeve inside a tube (somewhat similar to the fleshlight) more than only the sleeve attached to the handy. The standard handy sleeve comes in a tube. Did you know you can use this tube a holder for the sleeve?
Just put it in the sleeve, flip over the sides and fix it with a tie-wrap. Now you have a sleeve that cannot escape the handy no matter what. Disclaimer: doesn’t work on every size of John😁.
From my experience plastic cases do not remain stuck in the handy that well. There is a big sliding potential here. You might want to use some sticky velcro tape on the case so that can be used as a stronger attachment point.
Small penis alert lol. I like this idea but unfortunately would not work for me. I just wish they made a sleeve with loops on the sides that the strap fit inside of. Then the sleeve would never come out. Seems like an easy thing to me
How the Handy attaches to its sleeve is by far the biggest flaw in the entire design. Outside of that it’s great tho (minus the check-ins with their servers). I’m prepping to build a SSR1 or whatever tmax’s new design is called. Hopefully that takes the best of the design and adds on it.

These straps are far better than the handys strap. These straps have a rubber backing to stop slippage. I even doubled them up to have a stronger hold on the sleeve. A bit tough to get them both into the handys bracket but once you do you’re good.
I should be dumb as I didn’t see how the Handy is locked on your Hands3. Is it Only clamped when pushed inside the cup? It didn’t see any nut or so on the Handy side.
Handy pops in and wedges itself in the ring section. This holds well enough apparently however i still recommend using a trilancer cinch strap to hold the handy in the print.
The simplest way to go hands-free with the Handy is to use 4" self-adhesive bandages and a cheap pair of suspenders. Wrap the bandage around your waist and the far end of the Handy with the bottom of the handy against your pelvic area (you can add padding with a rolled-down sock or whatever you want), then clip the suspenders to the bandage and adjust as necessary. Done. Now, you can change positions on the fly hands-free. Obviously, it’s not nearly as fancy as abdulis setup–nor is it wireless, but it works.
You don’t even need suspenders if you buy a long enough roll of the bandages. You can get creative with how you wrap it around to create a makeshift harness, etc.
