Picks up petanque balls

cults3d

The nice days are coming, what a pleasure to get out the balls for a game with friends. Yes, but here we are, between a small occasional backache that makes us suffer or the advancing age that does not allow us to bend down and simply watch others play, there are choices to be made. It was while playing that the idea came up, during one game I felt a pain in my back every time I bent down to pick up the balls. During the 3 days that followed I studied and made a few prototypes before finding the ideal clamp. Attached to a string or shoelace, this clip in contact with the ball will open to come to the bride and by raising it will come to tighten it to come to be deposited in your hand and all this without you bending down. I tested it during 20 days at a rate of 1h30 of petanque per day and the clamp is always operational and without any deformation. Also for picking up the piglet. Ideal as a gift for dad or grandpa P.S.: You'll need extra: 3 screws M5 x 25 1 screw M5 x 20 4 nut M5 I plan to do an update to have the axes in 3D printing. Update of 12/05/2020 : addition of 3 STL axis lg. 15 axis lg. 23 Clip These 3 STL replace all the screws (see photo). However, the axes must be printed flat with support and cleaned with a cutter or file so that they are free in the bores. Video 1: https://youtu.be/Cp0sLl8Asl4 Video 2: https://youtu.be/mYACoJ3SJM4
