I designed a ring-style marker cap to help kids (or adults) with limited grip strength or hand dexterity remove marker caps more easily.
Hey everyone, I have been building Makegood TMT chairs for a while now, and I got to talking with a couple folks at 3D Printopia about assistive and adaptive technology and how 3D printing really unlocks the ability for new helpful designs to get out to folks with challenges and needs far more quickly than the past, and how we've basically not even scratched the surface with assistive technology and 3D printing.
Anyway, this is my small contribution for now. It's a simple thing, but I'm hopeful it can be useful to some kids out there who are unable to open marker caps on their own. I'm also working on a marker holder that works along side these.
The model is available freely on Makerworld. https://makerworld.com/en/models/3417307-adaptive-crayola-marker-cap
Anyways, I'm going to try to make more things like this, so let me know if you have other ideas or other things I could adapt these caps to! If there are other brands I should be targeting, let me know as well. I picked the most obvious one first.
