Abstract

This chapter delves into the innovative use of a 3D printed attachment to enable foot access to physical interfaces traditionally designed for hand use. The study addresses the limitations of hand-operated interfaces, such as physical and hygienic barriers, and presents a cost-effective, non-electronic solution. The authors detail the design and implementation of the attachment, including the development of a pedal mechanism and various components for different interfaces. The case study evaluates the effectiveness of the attachment through tasks performed on a doorknob, toggle switch, and lever-type faucet, highlighting the potential to improve accessibility and hygiene in public and private settings. The chapter concludes with insights into the practicality and future improvements of the attachment system.
