Viking Axe Chisel

thingiverse

For as long as I've had my 3d printer I have used a metal chisel to remove prints from the build plate and recently I learned that plastic chisels/scrappers are better as they don't damage the build plate. Now I could just download any old chisel but when you have a machine that can make anything why make a standard chisel? So I made this with some help from my professor. While building this I chose looks over printability resulting in the need to split the file which is most regrettable. However, I still think this looks better in the long run. The axe fits nicely into the hand and the pointy decorational things at the top of the handle aren't a bother or in the way at all. The measurements in the picture are in mm. The blade angle is set at 25°. This was designed in Solidworks. Axe head shape courtesy of https://www.pinterest.com/pin/670332725800315701/
