Hi, this is a tiny but functional bistable compliant robot gripper. It's some kind of simplified version of my other Keychain Gripper. It's great for fidgeting or tinkering around with bistable mechanisms.In its initial position the gripper is closed, when you push the switch in the middle upwards it snaps into its new position. This opens the gripper. The gripper remains open until you push the switch back into its original position. Its dimensions are approx.:32 x 30 x 3 mm When the gripper is closed, it should be possible to grip a round object with a diameter of 3 mm. It has a 4 mm hole on one side so that you can easily add it to your keychain. It is the smallest design I could print with my 0.4 mm nozzle that still works.I hope you have as much fun with it as I did designing it. If you have any ideas or suggestions for improvement, feel free to leave a comment! :-)Please note: Although this is a fidget toy, it can be brittle depending on your print settings and material u
