To learn more about Brandy, check out this link to her story and how 3D Printing helped her.
Three designs:
- Forceps - These forceps were designed to help Brandy use credit cards. Turns out they are usefull for much more than just that - she has a pair everywhere she goes.
- Cup Handle - Adds a handle to any cup.
- Can Grip - Adds a handle to a standard can of your favorite beverage.
Printing Recomendations:
Layer Heights: 0.2 mm
Infill: 30%
Support: None needed
- Print the Can grip using PLA for appropriate rigidity.
- Print the Cup Handle using ABS if you are going to use it for cofee or other hot liquids - PLA can warp.
- Forceps - Add some sticky, smooth surfaced material to the tips to add extra 'grip' to the.
Questions
Not a question, but a huge THANK YOU! I am an Occupational Therapist interested in 3D printing for my patient care. I don't have a printer yet, but will be hopefully by next year to make custom items for my patient's not found elsewhere.

@Sandra Salinas To access the Brandy Design, create a MatterHackers account. Next, add the Brandy Design to your cart, and then go through the checkout process (it is a free purchase). Once you have done that, sign out and then back into your MatterHackers account. Towards the top left, there is a link called "Design Library" - it's just to the right of the MatterHackers logo. The design should be there. If it is not, please email support@matterhackers.com, and we can help out. Thanks!
