Cone Pick up tool

thingiverse

Got fed up with hunching over. Built and printed this, and it works a charm on cones with openings around 50mm. To make this work, you'll need: PVC pipe with an internal diameter of 30mm Spring diameters of 10mm, approximately 30mm long Bolts measuring 30mm by 3mm 3mm nylocks On the PVC pipe, measure from one end and mark 16mm and 45mm. On both sides, draw a box that's 16mm wide between these two marks. Cut it out carefully. When installing, slide the arms together into the pipe and bolt them up in the center. If you cut accurately, the tension of the arms will hold everything together snugly.
