#10 3D Print: Handle Modifier for Elbow Control
Goal / Problem Statement
There may be growing focus on the day2day objects that we all touch. door handles, toilet handles, shopping baskets handles, …etc as points for contamination
Solution Summary
There may be merit in creating simple 3D printable objectives which would reduce contact with such services, i.e can open with elbow instead of hands.
So just looking at taps, for example, something lots of different people touch., the idea is we create a database of tap head types, and we create a simple 3D printable model which is 3D printable which just fits on the top tap which would mean people can turn it on and off with their elbows instead of their hands. It can obviously extend door handles form inside, etc etc
Actions
Create teams of fab labs, 3D printing experts and enthusiasts
Design, print, and test simple tools to allow people to turn handles with their elbow instead of hands
Identify public space where these are need most and provide for free or for donations
