Designed specifically to help paraplegics and quadriplegics with the process of self catheterization, this handy hook holds your waistband out of the way while you do your business and folds up to fit into a bag or purse when not in use!
Design highlights include:
Thumb hooks for those with low dexterity
Front hook for hanging bag catheters
Reuseable design – simply print a replacement if one component breaks
Optimized filament usage – one completed hook, only takes 100g of filament!
Simple assembly – minimal to no assistance required if you are quadriplegic (depending on injury level, of course)
Printing notes:
As this tool is designed to slide across a person’s skin, minimizing, blobs, tears, burrs, and other sharp edges should be a priority when printing. it is best to use as few supports as possible, but no matter what, additional sanding or processing may be required. Printing slower to ensure clean surface finish is encouraged.
Modifiers for solid fill are included in the OrcaSlicer .3MF file. It is strongly encouraged these be implemented to ensure maximum part strength, especially on the clips and thumb loops on the side hook and the center rod of the center hook. Reference the included photo for examples.
PETG has been the primary material for testing, and is recommended for its more flexible properties. Rigid TPU is probably also appropriate, but has not been tested yet. Brittle filaments like PLA are not recommended.
Each side piece should be printed at a 45° angle to optimize strength of the clips without fully compromising print speed. Printing flat will encourage splitting at the layer lines.
The speed and ironing settings in this profile are what I have found works best for my printing conditions– your mileage may, so calibrate, your filament, print slowly at first, and experiment as needed!
Feedback on this model is greatly appreciated! Plans for future releases include:
Single piece print-in-place version for improved part strength (while remaining compatible with replacement parts)
Additional PrusaSlicer print file, STEP files, and FreeCAD file
