The Grabbr: Card extractor tool for long nails!
Print Profile(1)
Bill of Materials
Description
The other day I read a conversation about EDC (everyday carry) items that people found unexpectedly handy. A couple of women chimed in about carrying tweezers to extract their payment cards from slots in gas pumps, ATMs, etc. Curious - being a guy with short nails, this never occurred to me as a problem. But yeah, people with long nails often have to adapt how they do certain things. So, yeah, this is basically a pair of overgrown tweezers with a keyring hole in the end. I added some angled grabber jaws at the end (after my first try was totally smooth and didn't really grip the cards that well), so as to better grip for extracting those cards.
Pics here are shown printed in Polymaker's Pink PLA Pro. There really isn't any PLA-specific magic here, so go nuts. Want to make it out of ASA, PETG, PCTG, PC, or even PA? Have fun. I'd probably skip the TPU though. If you're going to change from PLA to something else, I'll assume you know what you're doing and will appropriately change the profile to choose the right filament type and all. :)
