Revised Button Assist
This is a redesign of Arthritis Assist - Button Assist, Zipper Pull, Key Assist, and Bag Handle (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:899126).
This new button hook version is designed to have a rounded handle rather than a flat on one side.
Revised Ball Stylus
This file is a redesign; a stylus was designed for people who have difficulty extending a finger to operate a tablet and have difficulty gripping a standard stylus.
This new version is designed to print in two pieces and then threaded together to make the entire part. It is redesigned to make it easy to print, and the part will have no stress points to break.

Revised Friendly Straw
This is a redesign of friendly straw;(https://www.milbat.org.il/en/thisables/friendly-straw/).
This new version is designed to print on its side, so there are no supports, and it is easier to print. This should fit on most small plastic cups. The modified version is slightly deeper and wider to fit on slightly wider cups and sit a little more securely in the cups. It can be scaled in the print settings to fit different size cups
Nail Clipper Jig
The nail clipper holder is a low-cost, 3D-printed handheld tool that makes clipping nails a less strenuous task for people with gripping issues and limited finger dexterity.
Pen Holder
A quad amputee from Scotland needed a 3D printed solution to hold pens and pencils. We decided to do a simple, low profile solution to allow him grab the pen off the table as easily as possible. This design has a 3d printed spring built inside where it grabs the pen once pushed on. It easily comes off with a reverse direction push.

One Handed Bag Opener
The device can be mounted to any wall or cabinet and enables a person with only one functioning hand to be able to open a variety of differently-sized bags. To use the product, you should hold the bag in one hand and slowly slide the edge down the razer blade. For the best results, grip closer to the edge you will be cutting open to reduce flimsiness. There are two included screw holes when mounting to the wall, but double stick tape will also work. Finally, when loading the razor blade, for the best results, follow the example set by the image on the right, not the left. The image on the left has the flat edge of the blade sticking out, to increase rigidity, push that edge into the right side of the device so it sits on the hidden platform.
Muti Tool
This 4-in-1 multi-tool opener can assist anyone who may have trouble with opening jars, cans, and bottles in the kitchen. It assists with opening jars by first breaking the seal, opening beverage cans by lifting the tab with a wedge, opening pull-tab cans by lifting and hooking onto the tab for pulling, and opening bottles with an inserted coin for robustness and durability. This tool may be particularly helpful for seniors or people with arthritis, muscular dystrophy, and other disabilities that may limit strength and dexterity.
Phone Charge Cable Bracket
This design allows people with partial forearm to plug and unplug phone charger cables.
