## NOTE: The hinge is weak and prone to breaking, I will mix up a version with a solid hinge pin for durability when I get time. ##
This is an assistive device for people with mobility or grip strength issues. My grandfather has a bad tremor and low grip strength. He is no longer able to self administer his inhaler.
The device allows the user to use a whole hand grasp to push a lever the dispenses a dose of the inhaler.
I printed in PLA with a 0.6mm nozzle for speed. The model may have a different fit with other nozzles. If you run into issues and want the original fusion files to tune it up please reach out.
I printed parts side on to assist with durability in that axis.
The hinge pressure fits.
The inhaler should be inserted bottom first , once the base snaps into place the inhaler should lie correctly.
