COVID-19 plague stick and hook anti-touch thingy

Description

So with the new plague on our hands and two keypads + elevator to get into my flat I decided to brush off dust from my 3d printer and design something basic yet functional. Idea here is really simple, you got a nubbin for pressing elevator buttons and such. On the other end i have added a hook, which could be used for opening doors drawers and such. alternatively if you mirror it to your main hand so that the hook is facing away from the palm it makes a really good handle. In the images you can see the plague stick with a very tasty ripe banana next to it for scale. It actually has quite satisfying pop once you undo the lid. For hinge i used 3mm diameter bamboo skewer. Once printed the part of the main body where the latch comes down needs a pass with a file so that it doesn't catch on individual layers (at least with my layer thickness it was catching a fair bit).
