<p>This is a close replica of the venerable Stanley No. 25 10" Sliding Bevel, PAT 3-16-97". This can be used for light duty maker activities. It is a great design and will make replcating those odd angles a breeze.</p><p>Printing:</p><p><strong>Body</strong> - Use a denser infill if you want to give it some heft and print with the slit (short side) on the bed. The only support will be for the hex nut if you want. I used it there an it worked out fine. I used .20 mm layers and 3 parameters. I used 30% infill and that seemed about right.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Blade</strong> - This just needs .15mm layer height and 100% infill</p><p><strong>Adjustment Lever</strong> - This one is tricky, If you want a pretty part, print with the threads down with automatic infill. This does have the pitfall of being the weakest for the threads and you run the risk of breaking them off in the body when screwing in for the first few times. The <strong>strongest</strong> way to print this is on it's side with support over the entire model. Not as pretty, but a lot stronger. &nbsp;I used .15mm layers and 100% infill.</p><p><strong>Adjustment Nut</strong> - Same as the lever, but with the nut you can print on it back to make a pretty model. Also as with the adjustment lever, print on it's side for more <strong>strength</strong>. Use .15mm layers and 100% infill.</p><p>The bronze Adjustment lever in the photos was made with the beautiful Prusament “Viva La Bronze” PLA</p><p>Have fun with this model, and as always happy making!</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
