Summary: A practical tool designed to assist with single-person drywall (gypsum board) installation. It acts as a temporary support, holding the board in place against the ceiling or wall frame, allowing you to drive the screws without assistance.

Key Features:

• "Third Hand" Functionality: Essential for solo work on ceilings and slopes.
• Keyhole Slot: Allows for quick attachment and removal from the stud/frame without fully removing the mounting screw.
• Robust Geometry: Designed to withstand the weight of standard drywall sheets.

Printing Recommendations:

• Material: PETG, PLA
• Infill: 15% or higher (Gyroid or Cubic recommended).
• Wall Loops: 3 or 4 perimeters for structural strength.
• Supports: No supports required if printed flat on the build plate.

How to Use:

1. Fasten the tool using a screw (utilize the keyhole slot).
2. Rest the edge of the drywall sheet on the tool's lip.
3. The tool supports the weight while you screw the board permanently into the frame.
