Comb

<h4>Abstract</h4><p>This project allows you to create a customizable comb. The comb has rounded spikes to prevent injuries and has proven to be quite durable - even with PLA.</p><p>The project came from a dissatisfaction with the durability and price of the combs in my supermarket.</p><p>The customizable Tag makes this one good for families, too. This way, no one will confuse the different brooms, and you won't have to clear out other people's hair from your broom any longer :).</p><h4>Instructions</h4><ul><li>Download OpenScad from <a href="https://openscad.org/downloads.html">https://openscad.org/downloads.html</a></li><li>Download the “Kamm_Model_M_Flat.scad” file</li><li>Open the file with Openscad and put the respective text into the question marks at the top:</li></ul><pre><code class="language-plaintext">// Tag on the comb tag = "John Doe";</code></pre><ul><li>press f6 to render the file and f7 to export it as an STL</li><li>Open the Stl file with a slicer like Prusa Slicer and print it</li></ul><h4>Further Customization</h4><h5>Thickness:</h5><p>the variable you need to change it the file is&nbsp;</p><pre><code class="language-plaintext">bb_d = 3.4;</code></pre><p>on the 14th line.
