Now on my 4th FFM and still no joy. Am in contact with a local laser scanning firm to scan my face and provide a thickened STL for use with a stereolithograph to make a mask that fits!
I use my PAP machine nightly and I feel great!

Making this up as I go along. I am back to sick and tired of being sick and tired and jerked around.

Isn't this really expensive?
Just curious why you need a FFM. Is it possible that nasal mask or nasal pillows will work for you?

Isn't this really expensive? In progress so do not know yet. As I have $600 in masks that don't work how do I define 'expensive'?
Just curious why you need a FFM. Is it possible that nasal mask or nasal pillows will work for you? Nope. Wisp with a chinstrap is better than nothing but nowhere near successful.

What are you planning to use for headgear?? Are you going to make your own seals? Are you going to use your own hose fastening fitting or use one readily available? Again, are you going to design your own anti-suffocation valve or use one that is readily available? Sounds like an interesting procedure. I hope that you are successful without too much cost. It seems to me that I remember another forum member who had a custom mold cast and if I remember the cost was several thousands of dollars. If I remember correctly, it did not work out that well. On the other hand that person did not seem as dedicated to making it work as you seem. That person also did not have as much control of the design and process as you will have.
