Swiss army toy knife

thingiverse

So the kid asked if he could play with my Swiss army knife and, naturally, we had to explain that it wasn't a toy you know. But then he wanted one for himself and asked, "Can I have a kid-sized Swiss Army Knife?" Okay so I came up with a safer alternative, a Swiss Army Knife that kids can play with. It's got a blade on one side, some drawing stencils on the other. You could even add your name to it. Now this isn't perfect and I might revise it later to fix a few things like: Stencil blades are a bit too long and sometimes the stencils get mixed up. You'll need to drill holes for stoppers and the stencil design is kind of hard on pencils. Maybe if you add some slope, the pencil won't need to be so sharp. Oh, and the sticks should be longer. The whole thing was inspired by Swiss army-style keyrings but I had to start over because I ended up changing too much. If you want to make one of these kid-safe Swiss Army Knives, follow these instructions: First print out each STL file and flip them so that they're right-side down when you put 'em on the table. Alternatively, you can open OpenSCAD and create a DXF file with the kid's name in 2D letters. Make sure the letters aren't too big, then re-render Swiss_Army2.stl and your name gets etched into it like magic!
