A customer’s daughter requested a set of two faucet extenders for her mother to use as needed in her assisted living apartment. Her mother could not access the kitchen sink along with bathroom faucet handles from her wheelchair. In the past they had tested a grabber and some manufactured versions of handle extenders but neither device worked for the customer. The Maker team went to visit, took some measurements and got to work. They designed and fabricated 3D printed extended handles that allow the customer to reach, securely grasp, and operate the handles.
