Electric Pencil Sharpener Replacement Cover

prusaprinters

So, occasionally I'll stumble upon a project that's probably not worth the effort, but I carry through with it anyways.  This is one of those.I bought this nice battery powered pencil sharpener at Goodwill and it didn't have a cover.  It didn't take a lot to figure out that there was some kind of easy-to-lose cover that went over the sharpening mechanism, so I calipered it and drafted a replacement.  I tried to design it so that it could be printed without any support - but I had better luck printing with external support applied.This may be delusional talk, but hopefully, this posting brings a few of them with missing covers back to life.If you found this useful, it would bring me great joy to see your work - so be sure to share. :)Or, just buy me a coffee:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Julius3E8OR… better yet, please feel free to dump a bitcoin or two here:1Py3TUeR8noBN2giHyFV1GfB6x3Kh2WEVv... include a note to the effect of "Hi Julius3E8, thanks for the [insert name of thing]... my life has improved five-fold on account of it and please accept this paltry amount in gratitude".You're welcome! (in advance) :DAlso, feel free to peruse my other submissions which are almost as varied as they are many:https://www.printables.com/social/320993-julius3e8/modelshttp://www.thingiverse.com/Julius3E8/designsEnjoy!July 27th, 2024 update: Added a second version (coverV2.stl) that actually holds down the interlock switch better than the first one.  Also, it is a better snap in that locks it securely in place.  It's oriented to be printed without support, but if you print it with support re-oriented by 90 degrees, then the filament will give it extra strength.
