Roughly 8.5 inches tall, and 11 inches long when fully assembled. All parts fit together seamlessly with a simple press fit. The mechanism features gears that smoothly hoist the guide back and forth, while a ratcheting pulley prevents the part from slipping down. Each component is designed to be printed without any need for supports. This hook made by Snorri would work perfectly as the grabber. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1607199 **Required Parts** 1 A rubber band for the ratcheting pulley. 2 Some small string for the gantry, and crane. 3 A magnet to securely grab things. 4 An 8mm drill bit for cleaning out mating pin holes on the frame, although it is not strictly necessary.
