Fix a Grabber Stick

My Grabber Stick lever broke.

So I made a new lever on my 3D Printer.

If you have a Grabber Stick the same as mine this 3D print will fix it if the lever is broken.

I used PLA to print this and used the setting shown in the image.

The file for the lever is listed in Supplies.

The gripper has a pivot pin for the lever.

This slides out with a little force.
