Use a hand grabber to avoid unecessary contact with viruses and germs. Can be use to open a door, operate toilet flush, call elevator, switch lights. Even works on some touch screens.
Can be printed both sides, no support. PLA is material of choice but can be done also in ABS or anything else.
Clean the grabber frequently as germs can stay on it for hours or days without sanitizing. Hand sanitizer can be used.
This can be operated with 3 fingers for more strength, pushing or pulling both are possible. Slot is for a key holder (retractable ones are best). You can print 5mm thick as well (use scaling option in your slicer) but is less comfortable.
This design is based on other designs which didn't quite fulfill all my preferences. Some design choices have been made to minimize print time and optimize footprint on print bed to maximize batch size. Can print 16-24 per batch on a CR10S.
I printed it also on an Ultimaker 3 with success.
