Spatula (dual material)

<p>Oxo, made an awesome spatula that was perfect for use with stand mixers (notably KitchenAid), but has since dropped it in favor of a new design which is terrible. The old version is impossible to find (many have tried), so I took on the challenge of replacing it with a printed version. getting the right stiffness was difficult, but after many attempts this seems a good replica of the original. Printed with throughout using stock PET-G settings at 0.20 layer thickness and a 50% infill, the base layers are PET-G (1.6 mm) followed by TPU (1.4 mm) then switched back to PET-G for the rest. (the .3mf file has the settings)</p><p>Layer thickness was ramped down to 0.11 at the "neck of the spatula (around 2.77 mm) to add support at the point of highest flexure.</p><p>(The high infill seems necessary to prevent delamination)</p>
