This was inspired by MrDWGraf's Awesome grabber thing - titled "COVID-19 Hook Claw Grabber with Belt Case Corona Virus": https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4269376 I took that as the inspiration for this thing, making it more rounded and reducing the need for supports on the inside of the model by blending the walls in, which also made it more curvy. I chopped the belt clip off a model I created for a Hero Battery holder, and used it with this (scaled up as well). The 3D CAD pics of the model show some slight differences from what's posted, but not significantly enough that I want to update them. Check out the pics for a suggested printing orientation. I printed this at 0.2mm resolution with supports touching the build plate only. If you make it, you may need to scale it to fit your hand. One of the pics has a ruler for scale. The size of the finger holes is about 20x23mm, give or take a mm or two, and they profile is a rounded box. I added some pieces of white double-sided foam tape (the kind that sticks to just about anything) to the inside of the claw to help with opening doors with knobs. It's hard, but can be done and the foam tape gives it some grip. I left the paper on one side of the tape, but if something like rubber (such as from a scrap of old bike tube) were stuck to it, it would probably grip round objects better. The STEP file is attached. Good luck and stay safe!
