3D-printed elevator button reacher for accessibility created with OpenSCAD

This tool assists a person reach to push buttons, specifically in an elevator. It was written in OpenSCAD, scaled larger using Ultimaker Cura software, then printed on an Ultimaker 3.

After printing, we added a grip material to the end so it works better on buttons.

More information can be found on its Thingiverse page.

This repository contains the OpenSCAD .scad file, .stl file, and .gcode file. It also contains three images, embedded at the bottom of this README.
