3D printed origami inspired forceps

You can get kind of the same effect from a 3 x 5 card. Bring the two ends together, with one hand and then hold the rounded middle between your middle finger and thumb and then use your index finger to push and the middle a little bit. Then you can open and close by just squeezing with your middle finger and thumb. A very similar geometry. Thank you for submitting your 3D Compliant Mechanisms to Thingiverse.

If I may know what materials you are using for printing it out, please? I tried to use PLA, but what I print cannot be folded.

Is it possible to get a file for this like some of your other designs?

The lab has recently put a lot of designs on Thingiverse for download. The page is at www.thingiverse.com/BYU_CMR/about and has files for several related designs.
