Epidemic Essentials: Handy Tool for Buttons/Handles

thingiverse

In a pandemic like the recent COVID-19 outbreak, one of the simplest ways to get infected is by touching items that have been contaminated with the virus. Among all things, buttons and handles are the most commonly touched items every day, making them the highest risk. We observed people selling "epidemic tools" online that would help individuals push buttons or handles without coming into contact with them. That's a truly brilliant idea, but not everyone will be able to afford it. So we created this design so people can print it themselves. There are three parts to print and they can be easily assembled afterwards. Remember to keep it clean and sanitize it from time to time. There are two versions, each version consists of 3 files/components: No-Hands_v23 - uses a peg joint which I found the joint breaks after long duration of usage. No-Hands-New-Joint v8 - uses a ball joint which should be stronger, and it's easier to print on FDM Everyone stay healthy!!
