Stocks seem really easy to make. I’ve been experimenting with making impact toys.
Insertables seem really difficult to do though. I made some tiny dicks out of silicone, but I don’t have a degasser and the bubbles were problematic.

What was your process with the pillory? Did you follow a plan, or come up with it yourself?
I think insertables, maybe the 3D printing aspect would be printing out a PLA model, creating a mold around it, and then casting with body safe silicone?
Do you think you could just print the mold directly? I haven’t looked deeply into the techniques.
The pillory was pretty simple, so I didn’t feel the need for a plan. I had the pillory part sandwiched between a pair of 2X4s with regularly-spaced holes on each end. Long bolts ran through the sandwich, and could be removed to adjust the height. Most of the time it was attached to the bed, but I also made a base out of a pallet so it could be used freestanding. Sadly I don’t have the bed anymore. I need to find a place for the pillory in my new house and pull it out of the garage.
I think the idea with printing the mold directly would be that it would probably be more expensive, and probably still have sharp edges. I don’t know what the quality of your printer is - I imagine quite a bit better than mine. But the optimal process seems like it would be printing the initial model, creating the model with the cheap mould powder you can get at craft stores, then pour the silicone in that.
You just want it as easy to clean as possible too. Less nooks and crannies, something you can boil and clean if you want to use it with different holes.
Your stocks are lovely. I don’t have access to a saw or anything, but I’ve been trying to see if I can salvage a chair or table that could be modified for similar purposes.
