utility knife

thingiverse

knives are useful 3D printers can be used to print all kind of objects, I like the thought of it printing practical things such as hand tools. I’m not keen on thinking I could just, ‘3D print art’. A utility blade can be useful, to cut up cardboard, to unpack paintings, to open up delivered packages, to make ends meet etcetera. redesign of the Hall Precision Talon Utility Knife as a learning process in CAD software and 3D printing, by looking at it. I attempted to design the first slide-click to be a little more resistant so the knife is suitable for one handed use, yet won't not open from friction in your pocket. 100% infill, PET-G UPDATE: I'm working on a final version with slightly looser clearances so that in combining two materials/colors the knife still slides and clicks decently! will upload as soon as finished UPDATE2: I uploaded V7.1 which has some mentioned minor revisions include for different types of PLA (looser fit). I'll leave version 6 with tighter clearance online as I have been using the knife for about a month now and the springiness of the locking mechanism definitely is reduced noticeable by now. Both pieces of V6 & V7 are intercompatible. Thanks for the feedback!
