### 🚨 Update Notes
I have redesigned the model to improve overall strength:
* **Double Peg System:** Upgraded the connection joints from a single peg to two pegs to better distribute the force.
* **Reinforced Structure:** Changed the shape of the parts and increased the infill density specifically in load-bearing areas to increase strength.

### ✨ Key Features
* **Super Long Reach:** Once assembled, the grabber extends up to approximately 68cm (26.7 inches) from the handle to the tip!
* **Snap-Fit Assembly:** Parts connect easily and securely with a firm snap. Absolutely no extra hardware required.
* **Print-in-Place Hinges:** The pantograph mechanism prints completely pre-assembled.

### 🛠️ Required Parts & Assembly Instructions
To build this grabber, you need to print 3 parts in total: **1x Handle**, **1x Claw (Head)**, and **1x Extender (Middle part)**.

**How to Assemble Safely:**
For the easiest and safest assembly, place the parts on a flat desk. Align the snap-fit joints, and press down firmly and straight from above to snap the Claw, Extender, and Handle together. (Avoid pushing them together in the air to prevent breaking the pegs).

 

**⚠️ Crucial Tip:**
Right after printing, the print-in-place joints might be slightly stiff. **Gently wiggle and fold each joint a few times to loosen them up** before assembly. Once loosened, the mechanism will become super smooth!

### ⚙️ Print Settings
* **Supports:** **ON (Required)**. Please make sure "Enable Support" is checked.
* **Material:** Strictly prototyped and tested using **Bambu Lab PLA Basic**. *(⚠️ Disclaimer: I cannot guarantee the strength or take responsibility for breakages if you choose to print this with weaker materials like PLA Silk or other filament types. For the best experience, please use standard PLA!)*
* **Optimized Profile:** Layer height, wall loops, and all other settings are already fully optimized in my Print Profile. You don't need to change anything—just hit "Print"!
