The Poo Plucker! - Advanced

Silly? Maybe. Useful? Absolutely. This design was inspired by those claw machines with stuffed animals inside. But instead of winning a stuffed animal, you win Poop! lol. I included a built in poop bag dispenser to wrap around the fingers, and a replacement bag in the handle. Special thanks to Status Symbol for conceptualizing this model and paving the way with his prototypes.

How does it work? There is a spring on the axis that pushes the fingers open. When the trigger is pulled, the axis is pulled back which closes the fingers. By the way: the spring is the same spring as the Cactus Toothpick Holder, to make things easier if you already did (or want to) print that model.

Print in Place? The entire top section of the grabber is designed to print in place to make assembly super easy. A few screws, snap in trigger, and sliding handle and you're ready to start playing with, and cleaning up after your pet. Getting this design to print in place was just as mind bending as it seems, but its finally working great (:

Used ASA for UV resistant glittery look, and anti-bacterial TPU to give the fingers a little extra flex and cleanliness (great to keep dog slobber from becoming even grosser, if you use it to throw balls)

I'm not a poopy plucker, I'm a poopy plucker's mate... And I'm only plucking poopies 'cause the poopy plucker's late

Having a challenge with releasing the grabber "arms" so it articulates back so the finger pieces can be affixed. The inner piece is fully fused with the outer piece that attaches to the grabber body. Any tips?

We used decently large tolerances in this design. So you may need to decrease your flow rate a bit. If you need more info on how to do that let me know
