V2.5 Better Xacto Knife Handle

prusaprinters

<p>I had tried multiple of my own ideas in an attempt to solve a couple issues with my V2 design, but EasyT2022 on Thingiverse already remixed a great one! I took his idea and just adapted it to my original model.</p><p>I made two versions, with one requiring a heat-set threaded insert and the other simply using nut. Each version has a higher tolerance blade slot (HT) for well-calibrated printers, and a lower tolerance blade slot (LT) for slightly less calibrated machines. All versions can be scaled slightly if necessary, although too much may lead to fit issues.</p><p>On top of the M2 threaded insert or nut, you will need an M2x6mm screw.</p><h3>Print Settings</h3><p><strong>Printer: </strong>Prusa i3 MK3</p><p><strong>Rafts: </strong>Doesn't Matter</p><p><strong>Supports: </strong>No</p><p><strong>Resolution: </strong>0.2 mm</p><p><strong>Infill: </strong>20%</p><p><strong>Filament:</strong>Doesn't matter <br/> </p><p><strong>Notes: </strong></p><p>Print in a stiffer filament for best usability; I used Kimya Carbon Fiber PETG in the picture. As a bonus, the carbon fiber helps with overhangs and gives a really nice surface finish, but normal PLA/PETG/ABS should work fine!</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Category: Tools</p>
