Description
In an epidemic like the recent coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, one of the easiest ways to get infected is by touching on things that were contaminated with the virus. Out of all things, buttons and handles are the most common things that we would touch everyday, and therefore they have the highest risk.
We saw some people selling "epidemic tools" in the Internet that would help people to push buttons or handles without touching it. That's really a genius idea but not everyone will be able to buy. So we create this design such that people can print!
There are three parts to print and they can be easily assembled afterwards. Do remember to keep it clean and sanitise it from time to time.
There is 2 version, each version consists of 3 files/components:
No-Hands_v23 - uses a peg joint which I found the joint break after long duration of usage.
No-Hands-New-Joint v8 - uses a ball joint which should be stronger, and it's easier to print on FDM
Everyone stay healthy!!
