triclaw apple picker - rubber band upgrade

pinshape

Summary I created a modified version of the triclaw apple picker because I couldn't find any spring that met my requirements. My springs were either too small or too weak, so I decided to use rubber bands instead. This new design includes an updated slider post and a small hook. Print Settings Printer Brand: RepRap Printer: Kossel XL Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 40 Notes: Print the hook three times, and the slider post once. The new post replaces the original one, while the hooks are additional. Post-Printing Insert the slider post as intended. Secure the hook using the existing screw holes. You might need slightly longer screws than before to achieve a secure fit. Rubber Bands To get the best results, use small rubber bands that are strong enough. My rubber bands are 28mm long, and I had to loop them twice around to make them work. Therefore, the ideal rubber band should be about 1.5cm long.
