Hands free door opener / handle

thingiverse

To help reduce the spread of germs in our workplace, I made a simple hook like device which can be mounted to the bottom of a door to allow it to be opened using your foot. This stops you having to touch handles, reducing the chances of spreading germs on things like communal toilet doors. Print it on its side to increase its strength. Infill can be set to whatever you want, but 50% or higher is probably needed for strength, I went with 100% and it works fine, no supports are needed There are 2 versions a narrow (~30mm width) and WIDE version (~90mm width) The hook can be mounted in different orientations, mounted on it's side high up, it allows opening with the forearm. mounted at bottom of door but with hook pointing upwards it will allow the door to open using the sole of your foot in a dragging motion, however this may put far more strain on the print than having the hook mounted pointing down and opening it with toe of shoes.
