OW! That's Hot! Cup Gripper

I made the OW! That's Hot! Cup Gripper so when picking up hot liquids in a cup, you won’t burn yourself. When printing, the pin will be in PLA, the two arms will be in PLA, and the two grips will be in TPU

Supplies

Fusion 360, a computer, glue, and a 3d printer that can print PLA and TPU.

The Sketch

First, make an 80mm circle, then, you can either inset it by 7.5mm, or make another circle inside the first one that is 72.5mm. Next, add a 68.5mm line on the larger circle at a 60 degree angle, and a 70mm on the smaller circle at a 60 degree angle as shown in the picture. No add two lines connecting the two lines together on the top and bottom. Now add one more line half way down the big rectangle you just made like shown in the picture. Finally, add a line going across the two circles like shown at the bottom of the picture. Now you have completed the initial sketch.

Make sure to select all edges except for the inside grip and the pin hole. Fillet them 1mm. Congratulations! You’ve finished the arm!
