Scalpel Protector - Swann-Morton

thingiverse

This is a precision-made scalpel protector, crafted with meticulous care using Fusion 360 and printed from high-quality PLA material. The snug fit ensures that the protector stays securely in place, preventing accidental falls. To guarantee a perfect seal, you may need to carefully trim the interior edges of the protector using your scalpel. Having successfully printed these protectors from both PLA and PETG, I can attest to their reliability. While PETG tends to expand slightly more than PLA, it's essential to anticipate this slight variance and trim the edges of the protector accordingly to achieve a seamless fit. To ensure optimal printing results, orient your STL file upright and utilize a brim if necessary, as this will help the print adhere securely to the build plate. If you encounter any issues with adhesion, don't hesitate to add additional support. For ideal prints, set your layer height to 0.15 mm and plan for approximately 15 minutes of printing time.
