Folding dressing stick with paper grabber attachment

thingiverse

This versatile dressing stick is engineered to collapse so that people with limited mobility can easily transport it in their luggage. Designed specifically for my mother-in-law, this user-friendly stick was created after she shared her concerns about transporting her favorite dressing stick, which keeps extending from her bag during trips. As a result, carrying this item has become frustrating and bothersome. I also came up with the idea of creating a simple paper grabber to make it easy for individuals struggling with rheumatoid arthritis or mobility issues to pick up dropped papers without needing to bend over. Update 1: I was successful in printing most of the parts, and now my dressing stick is fully assembled! The sleeves that fit over the joints to keep the stick from folding were a bit too large, so I'm working on measuring and adjusting those files to create a perfect fit. You can expect updated versions of this file here with modified slides for better compatibility. Update 2: After making some necessary adjustments, I've uploaded an updated sleeve with improved fitting and also added images of the folding dressing stick. Still working on reinforcing the pins so they don't easily fall out.
