Flexible nutcracker
grabcad
This is a flexible nutcracker, which is printed with PLA & without support in one (or two) pieces. it can be used with and without screw.Cool thing is, this thing is statically determined, and flexes only in one direction to crack the nut. It's pretty strong and won't break if it is used only for nuts. If you use it on harder objects, the flexible end will snap. (the end will snap at a force of about 800 N theoretically, and since the force is multiplied at about 200 N force on the handle).If you print the screw, it is best to manually tap the screw and inner thread with an M12 tap afterwards. the hole in the top of the screw is to prevent slipping if you tap the outer thread of the screw. (you can stick a nail in there or something)If you have feedback/questions, feel free to let me know!
