Side of Hand Double-Hook

thingiverse

This accessory is designed to be worn on the wrist, with the side of your hand fitting snugly into a groove. The far end away from the hooks offers multiple ways to secure it to your wrist: elastic bands in the outer grooves provide flexibility, while a band or velcro strip can be run through the groove for added stability. Additionally, holes are available for low-tech tying with string. The hooks at the front are intended to push and pull open doors or other objects, carry bags, and perform various tasks. A rubber cap can be placed on the nub at the tip to make pushing more humane, or a stylus-like nub can be used to interact with touch-screen devices. Two protrusions near the hooks provide extra leverage when pushing down or up, while also offering grooved surfaces for grasping when pulling things with the hooks. The tool is designed to be ambidextrous, although it could have benefited from lines of symmetry to make it more suitable for left-handed users. My next iteration will prioritize considerations for 3D printing, as the current design may not translate well to home printing. If you decide to 3D print this accessory, please share your thoughts and feedback!
