클리퍼 그리퍼 3D 프린트 모델

설명

The Clipper Gripper is a 3D printable device that can assist users with nail care by securing clippers in an easy to operate mechanism. It’s great for arthritis sufferers or anyone with limited dexterity or mobility. It’s also a great tool for teaching young kids how to clip their own nails. My five year old grandson was able to use it without any help.

The included extension sections can be added to the base unit so you can reach your toes. You can use a single extension or a double depending upon your needs. The extension sections are just under 250 mm tall, so they can be printed on many common 3D printer build platforms.

License terms are simple. Your purchase allows you to make these for yourself or for your family and friends, but you cannot resell the models and/or sell/share the digital files. Print one for your mom or dad, or your grandma or grandpa. Make one for an elderly neighbor and give it to them for free. After all, I designed the Clipper Gripper to help people and to support my work. If you
operate a point-of-care facility (hospital or clinic) and want to offer the Clipper Gripper to your patients/clients, simply email me at Robhoski@Gmail.com to purchase a commercial license.

PRINTING ADVICE:
I’ve made Clipper Grippers using PetG and even gold silk pla filaments as seen in the main image. The settings I used in Cura are in the 3MF project files, but you may need to make adjustments to best suit your printer and material choices.
Use rafts to support the tall extension sections and also for the long pushrods so they don’t warp during printing. Tree supports are recommended and will help stabilize tall prints, however, normal supports should work too if tree supports are not available. I exported my build plates as 3MF files for improved reliability and to show the settings I used. If you want to work with just one item on a build plate simply click on the part you want and export as an STL file. This is the best workflow, but separate STL files are also included.

*Designed to fit most standard large-size nail clippers that don’t have a built-in nail file.

**Parts are designed with snap fit and pin connectors as shown in the diagrams.

Make with joy!
