Replacing Broken Sliding Handle Switches on Pen Knives and Box Cutters Just Got Easier. We've all been there - struggling with broken sliding handle switches on our trusty pen knives and box cutters, especially when we're in the middle of a project that requires precision cutting through hard cardboard or packaging materials. It's a common issue that can be frustrating and time-consuming to deal with. But don't worry, we've got you covered! After breaking enough of these switches while doing craft work, we decided to create a replacement part that makes it easy to get back to work quickly. If you're one of those people who frequently uses your pen knife or box cutter for heavy-duty tasks, you'll appreciate the convenience of this replacement switch. To ensure successful printing and optimal performance, follow these simple guidelines: set your layer height to less than half the nozzle width. For example, if you have a 0.4mm nozzle, print at 0.15mm Z height or lower. This will prevent the extruded plastic from falling off the edge, resulting in a perfect fit. For maximum durability and flexibility, we recommend printing with ABS plastic. And don't worry about the quality of the print - even draft settings can produce excellent results! We've tested it ourselves using a 1mm nozzle, and the outcome was impressive. We've included two versions of this replacement switch: one smooth for immediate use with our knife model, and another version with raw edges that you can customize to fit your specific knife design. Our goal is to save you time and hassle, so we've put in the effort to create a reliable and efficient solution. It's amazing what a little creativity and problem-solving can achieve - even something as small as a 5-cent part can make a big difference in your workflow. So go ahead, print this replacement switch, and get back to work with confidence!
