prusaprinters

<p>Until now I've used rubber bands and zip ties to stop my tools springing open when I least expect it, but now I have these!</p><p>Printed simply in PLA (or anything you have to hand) I used 0.2mm layers and 0,4mm nozzle but there's absolutely no reason to copy that. USE A BRIM though - because there's not much material in contact with the bed.</p><p>Because every tool is different, every dimension is customisable, although I suggest changing the #Radius value first if you are going to make something which is narrower than the twice the existing value.</p><p>To make your own custom item -</p><p>Measure your tool handle (or blade)</p><p>Log in to Onshape (an account is free and I've never received any annoying ads or emails).<br><br>Find the parameters outlined in the sketch below, and change them to suit your own dimensions.</p><p>The link to the onshape document can be found at the bottom of the “download” page.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/314242/rich_content/a1b4bb1e-5398-4327-8b26-4b8b0ec02a49/screen-shot-2022-11-11-at-73837-am.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%223b738f05-b89b-4cca-8507-f651b0f92350%22%2C%22w%22%3A2098%2C%22h%22%3A1632%7D"></figure>
