The HygieneHelper Anti-COVID Tool

thingiverse

Introducing the HygieneHelper, the latest innovation in user-friendly medical technology from The Printsmith! This ingenious tool empowers doctors, nurses, and cleanliness enthusiasts to navigate hospitals without ever having to touch potentially germ-infested door handles, light switches, or elevator buttons. The HygieneHelper's ergonomic design features a curved hook that securely grips the most commonly used 19mm-dia u-handle found in Canadian hospitals. The front knob fits snugly inside standard 20mm recessed elevator buttons, and the loop at the back allows for easy keyring attachment. For added durability, I produce these HygieneHelpers with robust PETG materials, utilizing four layers throughout and a 15% honeycomb infill. With a 0.5 mm nozzle, 0.28 mm layer height, and a swift print speed of 55 mm/s, each unit takes approximately 30 minutes to print. But that's not all - if printed with PETG using these settings, the HygieneHelper can withstand scorching temperatures for up to six minutes before softening. While it may not be suitable for autoclave use, it certainly beats wiping it on your pants! Print one for yourself and your loved ones, and say goodbye to the risks associated with dubious door handles, suspicious light switches, or questionable buttons! Or, take a cue from me and present a batch to your local ER team as a thoughtful gesture. Enjoy!
