When folded (300mm), this 800mm (32 in) folding grabber easily fits in your glove box or backpack. The folding arm prints-in-place and the handle and gripper easily snap together. To assemble, you will need 1 thin rubber band (about 50mm unstretched length), about 2m of thin cord, and optionally, 5 M3 screws (anywhere from 8 to 12mm long). AssemblyAfter printing, you will first need to remove the 2 small built-in support rings from the hinge knuckles as shown: Next thread your cord through the hole in the end of the trigger piece as shown (I used Spectra fishing line, but something like embroidery thread which is thin and stiff will work well too):Make the tails equal length. (You can tie a knot at this point to keep the ends even if you like. Thread the two tails through the center hole of all 3 sections of the folding arm. Assemble both fingers into the gripper base as shown: Insert the your rubber band into the slots in the bottoms of the fingers as shown: Place the gripper sub-asse
