Includes 7 unique head shapes and 5 handles in varying sizes that can be combined in any way to meet specific needs. Tailor the handle to fit each user, and the head to match the task, allowing the tool to function as an adaptive extension of the user's capabilities, increasing the range of tasks that can be performed by individuals with disabilities.

To accommodate unique needs, simply request a custom size or shape end and it will be added to the collection. Prints without support and is ready for use directly from the build plate. Customization Instructions Import one head design, one handle design, and the middle component into your slicer. Depending on your software and settings, you may need to align the parts to form a complete scissor snake assembly. This process is straightforward: in Simplify3D, select all three models and choose "Edit | Align Selected Model Origins." The parts should register correctly. If using Makerware or Slicr, ensure that all three models are selected before repositioning them. Printing the Scissor Snake Prints easily on most 3D printers. To ensure a successful print, use a clean and level build plate. Print at a layer height of 0.2 mm and an infill percentage of 30% or greater, with 3 or 4 perimeters for added strength. For a tighter action, scale down the parts by 5% to 10%. If the print becomes too tight or fuses, increase the clearance by scaling up by 5% to 10%.
