Minimalist Knife Block (interchangeable top)

prusaprinters

<p><strong>Sizing:</strong><br>Designed to fit <a href="https://www.amazon.com/3D-Printer-Prusa/s?k=3D+Printer+Prusa&amp;linkCode=ll2&amp;tag=thingiverse09-20&amp;linkId=28c787aef7c5a20cf2004b821dd161bf&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl">Prusa</a> MINI+ print bed, so parts are made with 17 cm x 17 cm in mind, hence the back being broken into two parts. Pins are included to connect the two back pieces, with glue. "Full" back pieces are included for larger print beds if desired; no pins needed for this.</p><p><strong>Hardware:</strong><br>Designed for <strong>M3x12</strong> button head socket cap screw (head w/ dia. 5.6 mm and depth 2 mm) and <strong>M3 hex nut</strong> (5.5 mm wide x 2.5 mm thick), inserted into the slots at the top and bottom of the front and back, as well as the Steak Knives Tray.</p><p>You will need 10 of each.</p><p><strong>Other notes:</strong><br>The screws in the top can be used to conveniently swap out the knife trays for alternates if the knife set changes.</p><p>Not absolutely required, but I recommend added a base to lower the center of mass, as depending on the knife set, it can tip over over (knives are considerably heavier than the print). Alternatively, any base that sticks out past the front to move the tipping point forward would help. In my final version (pictured) I've added a polycarbonate (Lexan) sheet for this exact purpose and it worked wonderfully. I also added felt pads to the bottom.</p><p>I've not printed the "Full" part as it would not fit on my printer, I only designed it anticipating someone preferring that option, so it hasn't technically been tested for bugs.</p>
