This is a Zipper holder designed for people who lack grip strength. The compliant mechanism allows the holder to flex and capture a zipper using a small adjustable bolt at the end of the holder. Developed with the the Occupational Therapy program at Des Moines University.
For best results with flexibility of the compliant mechanism, use PETG.
In addition to the print itself, the design requires the following:
- 1x M2 heat set insert
- 1x M2x16mm bolt - any kind
