Toast Extractor... the safe and easy way to remove toast from a toaster

cults3d

All too often, extracting toast from a toaster proves to be a challenging task, even with a lift mechanism that raises the height of the toast due to the shape and size of the bread being toasted. To safely remove the toast, people have been known to resort to using unconventional methods, which can lead to burns or, in extreme cases, an electric shock. You can purchase wooden tongs designed for this purpose, but they run along the sides of the toast, putting them at risk of coming into contact with the toaster's electrical components. As a result, over time, these tongs can become damaged from the heat emitted by the metal surfaces. Furthermore, they are quite expensive considering their functionality. The design of the Toast Extractor features a rotating joint that enables its arms to swing in and out to accommodate toast of varying widths. This innovative approach could have been implemented with a spring mechanism, allowing the arms to expand and contract with ease; however, this would have required additional force to secure the grip on the toast, compromising the overall feel and precision. The Toast Extractor is designed without springs, requiring minimal pressure to grasp the toast and lift it out. This design is a single-piece print featuring independently moving parts, eliminating the need for supports. With a well-calibrated printer, you should only need to give the joint a gentle wiggle after printing for it to come loose and rotate smoothly. For more information on how to use the Toast Extractor, refer to the accompanying images and print instructions.

The Toast Extractor is an innovative solution that allows you to safely remove toast from your toaster without inserting it into the element area or coming into contact with the metal parts. Instead, its arms grasp the sides of the toast, providing a secure grip similar to finger extensions.
