Titan install sharing thread

Just cut the rounded ends off a tic tac. Pretty much the size there

i searched my Laptop for files containing the name Titan and this is the only one i was able to find :confused:

you can maybe crop out one - tinkercad should work fine. im sorry that i cant find the original file

I am away from my computer at the moment, but it will only take a minute or two to make a cad file for you.
I use solidworks but I can export it in a variety of file types.

Any file preference?
otherwise I’ll just do an .stl for your 3d printer.
You can use the slicer to scale if you need to compensate for the printer

This is of course, unless somebody beats me to it, I’ll be away for a few more hours yet…

Dimensions for others if required

Thanks all, I’m glad I just didn’t overcomplicate the search and miss finding where it was posted before.

I’ll probably cut one a few out of mrln’s batch and use those to play around with placement.

How did you go?
Di you use tinkercad to edit mrlns stl file?
Or did you still need an individual one?

I haven’t done anything as of yet. Life has been a bit too “lifey” lately.

I will update / share what I get done with the original creator’s permission when I get back in the swing of things.

Fill your boots with this one

TiTAN.STL (22.7 KB)\

Let me know if you would prefer another file format

Here is MOST of the list

HI yall!

Just got my titan a few weeks ago and so excited to get it installed. This will be my second implant, my first being a vivokey that has been latent for awhile due to switching to iOS and losing my pin :man_facepalming: so this feels like my first one!

I’m thinking of getting it in the right hand ring finger on the side adjacent to my pinkie as it seems like it’s been going well for most folks and not too in the way? I’d prefer to get it in the same spot on the left but I actually got bit by my circle saw awhile ago on that exact part of my finger so there’s still some scar tissue and such so I imagine it would be such a good spot but I’m curious to get everyone’s thoughts!



A little tough to see in photos but there’s a fleshy lump of scar tissue on the side of the finger.

I’m going to roger rabbit at ancient adornment in Los Angeles who also did my vivokey install with no problems at all. I’ve been stalking these forms and biohack.me for awhile and haven’t happened to find a lot folks out in southern California area but maybe I’m missing them?

Anyway super excited and will let y’all know how it goes once I get a date set with Roger!

I’m also having trouble finding an installer nearish to me in Southern California for my titan :confused: im about 2 hours from ancient adornment and really hate driving up to LA so if you find anything else nearer to OC or SD keep us updated!

I have it in that spot (well, more on the pad and not on the side, but still), and I like it - during healing, you can usually just move your ring finger away from trouble, and for sensing and lifting little things, it works really well.
But I’d say - if you have a good installer, let him / her decide which finger is best. Mine just squeezed all my finger pads before, and he said the ring finger would be the only one with enough “soft” tissue to place the Titan in. My middle finger pad would have been bigger, obviously, but he said it felt too tight, and so the implant might be rejected easier.

That makes plenty of sense, thanks for the feedback @Coma! What did your installer mean by too tight? As in the skin being too taught?

I haven’t heard of anyone aside from Roger at ancient adornments in SoCal but if you’re ever in the area feel free to pm me! :slight_smile:

Yep, pretty much that. If you pinch your fingertips, you will feel that some have a higher resistance while others feel a bit more “soft”, and according to my artist, this is actually more important than the sheer size of the fingertip itself.
Since my magnet is sitting happily (and almost invisible!) in its place, I guess he was right :wink:

Installed my Titan in mid March.



This is what it looks like today. I think it healed well.

I got an xG3 installed where I got but by a razor blade and wouldn’t recommend it. This is what it looks like.

The red is the implant and the blue is the outside of the scar. It was cut off like a flap so the scar tissue goes all the way down. The scar tissue made the installation more difficult and more painful. It also hurts pretty bad if I bump it just right. It doesn’t seem to effect sensing though.

For those of you who installed the Titan at your fingertips. After it heals, how is typing? How long did it take to heal before you could type again? I’m at my computer and need to type a lot, so I just want to know what to expect or change placement if needed.

I can’t feel it while typing.

It took about 3 days and after that I had no pain typing but that will highly depend on on the install position and your body.

Appreciate it. I can do 3 days without using that finger for typing no problem.
My body heals pretty quickly but even if t takes a few more days that’s fine, just want to ensure I can get back to typing again without any issues after installation.

For me it took about 3 weeks to comfortably type normally again. I’ve found myself that for me scalpel work healing to normal takes about 3-6 weeks (basically that’s the point that I forget that I’ve gotten it done recently).

It won’t be healed after the three days

Mine is installed that far backwards that I don’t type on it since I type with the tip of the tip.

The three days were enough to don’t have pain on the wound that is next to the spot that I use for typing but I’m sure if it would sit more to.the front it would hurt for way longer
