Spatula for 3D prints

thingiverse

I preferred the original design but found the straight handle challenging to remove prints from. To address this issue, I modified the design to feature a slightly angled handle, which significantly improves print removal for me. I added decorative scallops to give it a more visually appealing look. EDIT: Initially, I printed the item flat on the print bed, resulting in a weak and fragile edge that tended to come apart. To rectify this problem, I printed it upright, ensuring the edge was perpendicular to the print layers rather than parallel. This resulted in a much stronger and more robust edge. Additionally, I discovered that printing with vertical layers works better at larger layer heights. Therefore, I printed the item using a .2mm layer height, which produced an exceptionally smooth surface.
