Update 6/29/15:
I added a video demonstration my entry, the parts, how it is easily assembled, and it's benefits both explicit and otherwise.
It can be found here: https://youtu.be/-quo3pAg7Js
Entry Date: I had two ideas that I had come up with early on in this challenge. One was a new design for a mouse for disabled folks and the other is the one you see here. I took the standpoint of someone who works pretty much all the time with his hands and really does everything himself. I thought about the two most important things that I would need to continue doing both for enjoyment and for my livelihood if I were to ever lose the use of not one, but both of my hands. One was using the computer (hence the mouse idea) the other was being able to draw, paint, and essentially being able to continue expressing myself and my ideas without a computer. That latter design started taking on a whole new meaning once I had gotten the Quick-release mechanism and cradle engagement and disengagement mechanisms working. I started to incorporate other tools like rulers, x-acto knives, etc. There is quite a bit of stuff that I wasn't able to get around to finish modeling that allows the SECOND quick-release mechanism found in the Double Quick Release device to work as smoothly as the basic device does. In any case, even though I had started designing and building this device (I will link to videos of some demonstrations later on) a few weeks ago, this entry probably doesn't seem all that original now. So how does it compare:
- All components except fastening hardware are 3D printable. Assembly is also pretty basic
- Both Basic Quick-Release and the Double Quick-Release devices work with a RYOBI hex bit adapter that has a 3D printable ring attached to it's perimeter to provide single handed or single prosthetic operation - This means that the device, when used with the cradles will allow the user to remove and attach the devices without the use of another hand or another person's help. However the paintbrushes and other tools will initially need to be placed into the adapters if the individual is unable to do it himself.
- Unique paintbrush adapter allows for a wide array of brushes to be used
- Universal Drawing/Tool adapter can accommodate a number of various sized devices with the use of flexible 3D printed "sizing collars" parts
-Allows for incredibly quick and efficient disconnection and reconnection of tools and adapters.
-Incredibly inexpensive to produce and all main parts can be readily 3D printed for under $20.
-concept already proven: I have already made and tested the device and I will link to that video here later on.
I'll be updating the images and putting up more informative information throughout the challenge so check back often.
