Stumbled across this one recently, as the link and image suggests this is a fully 3D printable berry picker! Thought about buying one, but this one is rather convincing due to its features.

I need a gif of this baby in action!

Added bonus of sprinkling the berries with fresh microplastics

Edit: this was a very negative comment, sorry. It’s a super cool build, i’m just feeling climate / environmental anxiety and i’m letting it out in random comment sections.

I was hoping to come find a snarky comment about food safety, it became a fun meme on the 3DPrinting subs

Don't these damage the plant?

[–] cr1cket@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

Yes, they are terrible. Don't use such abominations.

Not more than we humans damage our forests 😞

According to the guy who made it, "it doesn't damage the plants more than animals do". Plus he also made different comb sizes for different kind of berries. I know that these are banned in some countries from what I've heard, but in other countries they're quite needed as some berries grow and spread really fast.
