I made this to solve the simple problem of needing a mounted plate for the Handy 2, that was sturdy, didn’t move when in operation and allowed for movement.
The ergonomic design allows for standard two 35mm width belts for waist and lower waist or the better more stable mounting solution, 2 leg mounts and one waist mount.
It features a longer clip mount for the handy, which you can put a magnet in if you want to make it function the same as the original, but it should snap in nicely.
The longer clip mount is used because the base unit + the angle of the device adds a few cm to the height of the Handy, resulting in a less deep stroke, the clip solves this by moving the mounting point for the toy lower.
Required equipment:
