Print Removal Tool - Spatule levier – Version 2

thingiverse

Objective: Device for Assisting Piece Removal from Support Presented Application: Aid in Removing 3D Printed Pieces from FFF Printer The proposed tool is an alternative to the use of a cutter or traditional spatula to remove pieces, aimed at avoiding user risk and plate attachment. It's a spatula-shaped tool designed to facilitate piece removal from support. One feature of the tool is its ability to use a simple commercially available rule or durable lamella to attach the object to be removed. It also has a circular groove allowing the rule or lamella to be logged, as well as an aggressive plate backing zone. The device operates on the principle of a lever, with pressure at one end generating force that facilitates piece detachment from its support. A commercially available rule is used here as the durable lamella. The rule flexes and remains in the groove by coincidence. Photos 2, 3, and 4 The tool's edge has an accessible zone for optional addition of adhesive tape or a Neoprene adhesive film to increase adherence of the rule (lamella) in the groove. It is also possible to add extra thickness using transparent Scotch tape. A few millimeters overhang allows attaching the piece without touching the support (in this case, the printer plate) Note: Light sharpening of the tool on the contact zone with the piece favors grasping by the piece; for a rule, it's possible to use an unmarked area The used tools can be quickly inserted and removed from the device for recovery to their dedicated uses. Material: A commercially available rule or lamella equivalent Optional: transparent Scotch tape for adjusting interference, Neoprene adhesive Other devices: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1188456 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1188506 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1188526 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1188543 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1188597 Created by Alain Ducros / 12-2015
