Customizable X-Acto blade disposal bank

Click on the Open In Customizer button to tweak the dimensions of this model as needed, then save the modified design. Use this device for safe disposal of X-Acto blades. Simply insert your used blades through the slot and when the bank becomes full, close the slot with an adhesive tape, dispose of it and print a new, empty bank. The model features an internal guard that makes it challenging (but not impossible) to remove blades through the slot. For added protection, pause the printing halfway, **insert a small magnet** (see picture; they're available on eBay and from numerous sources) and continue the printing. This will keep the blades clamped together within the bank. The model is positioned for printing with the slot at the bottom. When done printing, flip it over to expose the slot at the top. I printed with PLA, a 70C bed temperature, a 200C nozzle temperature, a cooling fan, three layers of bottom, top, and shell, and 15% infill.
