Scissor Snake Easy Grip Custom

thingiverse

Update: 1/5/2020 - Added 3 New Designs as Requested by Everson Siqueira. Description: Makes it easy for people with limited hand use to grab small objects from a distance in a fun and effective way, also making a great toy. Includes 7 head shapes and 5 handles of different sizes that can be mixed and matched to suit any need. Tailor the handle to fit the user, and the head to fit the task, so the tool functions as an extension that makes it possible for disabled users to perform more tasks. Instantly increases physical reach by up to 12 inches. One tester said it gave him "a superpower" to grab things. Prints without support and comes off the build plate ready to use. How to Customize: Import one head design, one handle design, and the middle part into your slicer. Depending on your software and settings, you may need to align the parts to form a complete scissor snake. Don't worry, it's easy... in Simplify3D, select all three models and choose 'Edit|Align Selected Model Origins'. You'll see the part register properly. In Makerware and Slicr, the models should come in already aligned. If you reposition them, just make sure all three models are selected first so they move together. How to Print: Prints easily on most printers. Be sure to use a clean and level build plate. Print at 0.2 mm layer height and 30% infill or greater, with 3 or 4 parameters for strength. You can tighten up the action by scaling down the parts by 5% to 10%. If your print is too tight, or fuses, you can increase the clearance by increasing the scale by 5% to 10%. Print Settings: Printer: Duplicator 4 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 30% Notes: Requires a clean and level build plate. Use cooling fan if available. For a tighter action, scale the part down slightly. For looser action, scale the part up slightly. Works best with up to 100% infill for maximum strength.
