Keychain gripper with rubber and capacitive touch functionality

thingiverse

A portable keychain tool designed for secure grasp and capacitive touchscreen operation, featuring enhanced friction from added rubber and an aluminum inlay for touch interface access. This innovative device is part of the #NoTouchChallenge initiative, addressing two major drawbacks of earlier designs: * The initial plastic material lacked sufficient grip, making it difficult to grasp objects. Some versions attempted to solve this by incorporating rubber bands, but a more effective solution is a solid piece of rubber integrated into the design. * Touchscreens can be breeding grounds for germs and viruses due to frequent use. This gripper addresses this concern with an aluminum foil inlay that allows users to operate touchscreens safely with its tip. Additional materials needed: * A rectangular piece of rubber (205x5.8x2), a stencil is provided: rubberruler.stl * Aluminum foil, folded multiple times to achieve 130x5 dimensions * Superglue Assembly instructions: * Carefully glue the folded aluminum foil into the slot, ensuring it extends from the top of the handle to the tip of the gripper. This allows for secure touchscreen operation with the thumb positioned above the foil on the handle. * Glue the rubber piece into its designated slot, providing a solid grip and enhanced friction.
