Step 1: Make Improvement of Broken Part

If it is possible to improve the design of the broken item.

Make the improvements.

Step 2: Print the New Lever

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

The file for the lever is listed in Supplies.

Step 3: Remove Broken Part

The gripper has a pivot pin for the lever.

This slides out with a little force.

Step 4: Fit New Part

Fit cable into new part.

Position new part in its correct place and replace the Pivot Pin.

Step 5: Finished

All fixed.

I am now able to pick up things I dropped on the floor again.
