Abstract

  • Are there case studies you have found of a technology being used successfully?

In many parts of the world, fishing is a very large part of life, as a plentiful source of both food an income to many people. A fish hook extractor tool aids a fisherman in removing hooks from a fish's mouth with ease and speed, especially when a hook has been lodged deep within the fish or in a difficult spot to reach with one's hand. It also helps a fisherman by retrieving hooks that would have otherwise been lost to the fish.

This tool is an OSAT, as it contributes to certain sustainable development goals such as 2) Zero Hunger and 8) Decent Work & Economic Growth. It allows fisherman to spend their time more efficiently, catch more fish, use fewer hooks, and cut down on the risk of injury. This means more fish are being used to feed hungry people or sell/trade for economic gain.

Bill of Materials

  1. Approx. 10 g PLA filament: $0.28
    1. Upload and link to all source files from open source CAD
    2. Upload and link to all STLs

Tools Needed for Fabrication

  1. MOST Delta RepRap or similar RepRap 3-D printer

Skills and Knowledge Necessary to Make the OSAT

Knowledge of OpenSCAD may be helpful to modify the design in any way seen fit. Aside from this, one must simply know how to import the STL file into a slicer program and run the resulting g-code on a 3D printer of their choice.

Technical Specifications and Assembly Instructions

  1. The fish hook extractor requires zero assembly. Simply remove the tool from the printer when it has completed, remove all support structures created, and it will be good to go. It may help to perform some sanding/smoothing in order to make the tool more comfortable to hold and work with.
  2. Print time estimate: 1.5 hrs
  3. Assembly time: None

Common Problems and Solutions

  • Include common mistakes/problems to avoid in building your OSAT and how to overcome them

Cost savings

  • Estimated cost: ~$0.28
  • Commercial equivalent: $2.19 at Bass Pro Shops
  • $ savings = $1.91 per tool
  • % savings = 87%

References

  • The sources of information (e.g. engineering handbooks, journal articles, government documents, webpages, books, magazine articles etc.). References should use the <ref> </ref> and <references/> tags and can be in any format but should include all the information necessary for someone else to find the same information you did.

Based on the developmental needs addressed (e.g. food, heat, electricity, clean water, health care, etc.) be sure to label your device in the proper categories e.g. use [[Category:Water]]. Be sure to categorize your device so that it will be easy to find – for example “Low voltage connection basics” is categorized in [[Category:How tos]] [[Category:Electricity]] [[Category:Electric lighting]].
