With the current pandemic still going strong, it is important to pay extra attention to our personal hygiene and minimize our contact with the public. However, there are occasions that we couldn't really avoid in the public, for example, opening doors, pressing the elevator button or when you operate the ATM.
There are different products in the current market doing a similar job, but the marked price are usually unreasonably high for such a simple design and thus I have decided to model up and 3D print my own one.
Here comes the Super Jordan Hands-free Door Opener. simply use it to rotate snibs, poke on buttons or hook onto a door handle to open a door. This prevents a direct contact with door handle, elevator button or the ATM keypad. If the majority of the public uses the door opener, this can minimize the direct or indirect contact between the members of the public, and thus reduce the risk of infection as well as the frequency of cleaning required.
This design is sized to be able to attach to your key ring, and it is also large enough to hook on most door handles but yet small enough to fit in your pocket.
I have printed out in Onyx materials with solid fill and so far it works fine without any structural damage with my daily usage. Feel free to print it out yourselves with the files available on GrabCAD (link: https://grabcad.com/library/super-jordan-hands-free-door-opener-1 ) or contact me via this page if you are interested in a printed model.
