Description
This is a holder for a disposable cup to help people with prosthetic limbs or limited grip strength to be able to drink from a disposable cup (one without a handle). The cup fits into the holder. The handle is shaped so that it is easy for a hand to slide in and out with ease. The holder fits snuggly around the cup to prevent the cup from moving. This is important for people that cannot grasp a cup without a handle or with handles too small to fit the prosthetic limb through.
Instructions
- Download two files (one file for the handle and one file for the disposable cup holder).
- Scale x and y or Z to make a version to fit any type of disposable cup.
- Print each out.
- Glue ("weld" with cyanomethacrylate glue) handle to holder.
We used an UP!3D printer on Draft mode (fast) in ABS plastic.
This project was undertaken in association with the Center for Parabiotics Experimentatl Pathology Research Team (7/1-8/31)
under the supervisoin of Dr. R. Siderits
