This is a fast and easy print that can be used to help open doors and push buttons. It should be printed in PETG.

My daughter saw a picture of something similar and asked if I could design and print one for her. It wasn't hard, and the print was quick. Then I started using one at work. I have an office in downtown and I am always opening doors and riding elevators. I also work at many sewage treatment plants and always on the move from building to building.

The one I printed for myself has been working great and I clean it at least once a day with either isopropyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, or plane hand sanitizer.

As more and more people begin returning to work, everyone kept asking me where I purchased it. I told them that I made it and started passing them out at work.

The first image is a render using the Arnold Renderer in Cinema4D. The second image are the measurements in millimeters. That last picture is of actual prints.

Print instructions

I strongly recommend printing this in PETG for two reasons. First some doors take effort to open and PETG is both slightly flexible and the layers bond well to each other. The second reason is that PETG is fairly chemically resistant and will hold up better to most chemicals used to sanitize it.

Since this will be used to pull open doors, I printed mine with four outer walls, five bottom and five top layers with 40% infill. I have used the same one for more than a month and have not had it break. This includes sanitizing it at least once a day.

The stl file is positioned for the best print orientation. Just import it into your slicer and send it to your printer. No supports are needed.

As in almost all of my prints here, this was just for myself, but I thought I could share it with others since there appears to be interest in this as more and more people are returning to their place of business.

Good luck, and stay healthy!
