Bag Opener #3DThursday #3DPrinting

This device is meant to assist in opening plastic packaging with small lips, such as the dried tomatoes bag pictured above. It’s intended for anyone with difficulty manipulating small objects.

The current design needs improvement as it has a tendency to tear the bag, but I’m posting as a starting point.

It’s sized to fit a flat-top thumb tack / push pin but may need to be scaled slightly depending on your pushpin brand and printer. Put a dab of superglue on the pin head and slide it into place.

I included the Creo design file if you’d like to make changes.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
