OpenEDS - Soda can opener

It's the first tool of the OpenEDS collection. OpenEDS is made to create open-source assistive tools to make easier and less painful life for Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome people.

 

Description

With EDS, It's hard to open a soda can. With this tool, don't hurt your fingers and use all your hands to open a soda can.

I've just add a small hole to attach this tool on a key ring.

This tool can help (poly-)arthritis, fibromyalgic or people with hypermobility.

 

Printing & edition

I've printed this with 15% gyroid infill and it works very well.
Also, don't forget to have 3 walls to strengthen the print.

If you want to edit the OpenSCAD file, You need to install the BOSL2 library.
