Fully 3D Printed Locking Forceps / Hemostats with Interchangeable Tips

thingiverse

Create a pair of locking forceps with interchangeable tips, using OpenSCAD source code listed below. Ensure the two additional libraries are included in the same directory when editing. If you're interested in examining the code at the top, you can easily export additional parts by toggling variables to "TRUE" or "FALSE." Copy an if statement from an existing tip and modify it to create your own; I recommend setting "viewAssembly" to TRUE when prototyping tips.
