Ergonomic handle for metal saw blades

thingiverse

The original jigsaw blade handle-inspired design was replicated for regular metal saw blades due to their thinner, longer structure with smaller teeth. These blades yield better results in specific cases but need careful handling to avoid bending. To optimize usage, one may cut a blade to size or recycle broken ones. Printing without over-extrusion ensures easy blade insertion; using a nylock nut with a 20mm M3 screw is advised for secure locking. The sliced design features 0.2mm layer height, 1.2mm wall thickness, and 1.6mm bottom/top layer height, with 10% infill for support structures. Print time is under an hour at ~60mm/s. A homemade raft was added to the bottom end design due to its small size, but a regular raft should not be used as it would be harder to remove. The redesign in OpenSCAD is not a derivative of Buckyball's work, but it retains similar dimensions for the ball and height. Customization is possible through factorized, commented values in the source code.
