Scalpel case

pinshape

This is the scalpel case we've been working on for quite some time now. The goal is to create a safe and secure case able to hold one, three or five scalpels. It must safely store the scalpels securely enough to place in a bag or pocket without it opening or breaking. We tested this with various scalpels and blades. It will fit most scalpels, including Swann-Morton no 3, as well as several unbranded ones. A version for Swann-Morton no 4 or other types can be uploaded upon request. Make sure your print has good layer adhesion and is strong enough to withstand the forces it must endure before putting it in a bag or somewhere it might hurt someone if broken. Scalpels are designed to cut flesh, so handle with care. The big logo on top of the cases visible in the animated GIF has been replaced with a smaller, more discreet one on the sides of the cases. This is the result of our scalpel tray study, which can be found at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2099632. We are already deep into development of version two, possibly thing no 2380454. This thing is designed to be printed with both parts standing up. Clean off the small supports underneath the pivot points and gently snap together. Also, this thing will probably never be sterile. But if you (for a second) wanted it to be for some reason, you probably already knew that.
