Ergonomic adapter for cutlery, pencils, and grip tools

Description

This ergonomic adapter was designed to facilitate the use of cutlery, pencils, pens, and other small-diameter utensils for people with grip difficulties or limited hand mobility.

The main objective of the design is to provide a simple, comfortable, and accessible way to increase autonomy during daily activities such as eating, writing, or performing basic tasks that require holding objects with precision.

The system uses a main body that adapts to the hand and a screw-adjustment mechanism that allows various utensils to be securely fastened. Thanks to this system, the user can easily switch between cutlery, pencils, or similar tools without needing additional modifications.

Features

  • Ergonomic design for improved comfort during use.
  • Compatible with cutlery, pencils, pens, and other objects of similar diameter.
  • Screw-adjustment system for a firm grip.
  • Lightweight and sturdy design.
  • Easy to print without additional components.
  • Simple assembly consisting of only two parts.

Who is it for?

This adapter can be useful for:

  • Children who are developing fine motor skills.
  • People with difficulty holding small objects.
  • Users who need assistance with feeding or writing activities.
  • Family members, therapists, and educators looking for accessible tools to promote independence in daily tasks.

Design and Functionality

The model consists of:

  1. Ergonomic main body.
  2. Interchangeable adjustment thread.

The thread allows for adjusting the pressure exerted on the utensil, achieving a secure fixation without the need for adhesives or external elements.

Project Motivation

This design was created with the intention of developing a practical and low-cost aid that can be easily 3D printed on any home printer. The idea is to offer a tool that helps improve people's independence and comfort during daily activities such as eating or writing.

If you print the model and find it useful, I would love to hear about your experience and receive feedback to keep improving it.
