Single Print Gripper

thingiverse

I just caught wind of NoTouchChallenge and thought I'd share this right away. It might prove useful for someone in need. As you can see, it's a gripper designed to be extruded as a single print. Essentially, it's oversized pliers with some creative tweaks. To close it, simply push those grips together. To open it, there's a little elastic piece that does its thing. I must admit that I'm eager for feedback from you all, since this hasn't been tested yet due to my current lack of access to a 3D printer. If you encounter any issues while printing, such as the elastic part being too rigid or snapping, or if the gripper isn't comfortable to use, please let me know. Although it's meant to be printed as a single piece, I'll also upload each component separately for your convenience. I hope you like it!
