Snips Cover

thingiverse

This is a snap on protective cover for the snips / cutters provided with most 3D printers. The cover snaps into place and leaves the compression spring under no tension. To remove simply open the snips to full and the cover eases off, alternatively just pull off. The cover is canted to allow for the angle of the snip blades. V3 shortened to maximise tolerance for handle grips on some snips extending closer to blades. Prints stood on its ‘open’ end. No support required. I used PETG.
