Pinchee | Dexterity Stacking Game

Say hello to Pinchee - a fully 3D-printable, 2-player dexterity game where players pinch their bird to stack twigs on a cheerful elephant. Combining fun with finger and wrist exercises, it’s enjoyable for everyone and offers particular benefits for individuals with hand arthritis. Score points by stacking twigs and aim for victory in the high-stakes endgame! Pinchee began as a design project by PrintLab’s Lead Designer, Rob Mafrici, who participated in the Make:able 3D Printing and Assistive Technology Challenge. Rob set out to create a life-enhancing device for his end user, Cath, who has osteoarthritis in her hands. After numerous prototypes and iterations, Pinchee emerged as a discreet yet effective assistive device, thoughtfully designed to incorporate recommended finger-pinching and wrist-flexing exercises for arthritis management. We hope that Pinchee not only becomes widely used but also inspires others to create their own 3D-printed assistive devices. Join the Make:able Challen
