Originally this idea was meant to fit into the "Ergonomic Workshop Aids" contest, sadly I don't think this idea will fit into the spirit of the contest. Nonetheless, I will attempt to make a system that can quickly accommodate a variety of friction caps. I'm simply trying to outline my idea here.
Idea Name: HandyCaps (BetterCaps)
Simple Vision: Essentially better caps and a system to open/close the caps.
Precise Vision: Parametric modeling of better caps to replace the included caps on gluesticks, chapsticks, expo markers, other friction fit caps, etc.
- The caps should be easy to operate with a single weak and greasy hand
- The caps should self-right when possible
- The accompanying HandyCap system should be reasonably compatible
- The parametric model should consider diameter and depth of cap for simplicity
Future Project Additions:
- Pull tray
- Upside down pull tray
- Squircle HandyCap
- Low Poly HandyCap
- And more… ;)
