Surker / Wahl Hair Clipper Guards #1 - #12

prusaprinters

<p>I modeled these after the clipper guards that came with my Surker hair clippers. Mine only came with sizes up to #4, and I wanted more options!</p><p>These should also be Wahl-compatible, though I can't confirm since I don't have a Wahl. Size labels are in metric – if you need imperial feel free to download and update the CAD file.</p><h4>Printing</h4><p>I was able to print these without supports, however your results may vary (overhang angle is 70°). PLA or ABS is recommended (PETG will probably be too fragile). I printed mine in PLA at 0.2mm layer height.&nbsp;</p><p>The bottom of the “fins” are tapered to 1mm, and there's not much surface contact with the bed, so adhesion is key. I was able to print with a bit of stick glue, but you might need try adding brims if that doesn't work.</p><h4>CAD File</h4><p>I've also included the FreeCAD source file in case anyone needs to modify the design for their clippers. To change the guard size in the FreeCAD file, simply open the <strong>parameters</strong> sheet, and change the guard #. The guard length is calculated automatically based on the <a href="https://wisebarber.com/hair-clipper-guard-sizes/#Wahl_Hair_Clipper_Guard_Size_Chart">Wahl standard guard sizes</a>. If you want a custom non-standard length, just override the formula for the guard length.<br><br><strong>Note: </strong>I highly recommend using <a href="https://github.com/realthunder/FreeCAD_assembly3/releases">realthunder's fork of FreeCAD</a>, otherwise things easily break when you change parameters.</p>
