Wahl Designer Clipper Guard, 1.5"

thingiverse

I made significant changes to rmeyers's 1.5" custom guard design:\nScaled the model up to millimeters for accurate measurements.\nReoriented the model to fit my printer settings, ensuring a smooth printing experience (see below).\nMoved the tabs and sides to fit perfectly with my Wahl Designer clippers.\nStrengthened several areas of the model to prevent breakage.\nRounded the tips to eliminate sharp edges that could cause hair snapping issues.\nWhen I initially printed the original design, it broke due to improper attachment area fitting on my clippers. However, by reorienting the model as shown, it now requires supports during printing but is less prone to cracking from clipper stresses. To further enhance its durability, I reinforced several weak areas.\nThese custom guards work just as well as the original ones that came with my Wahl Designer clippers, although they do make a louder noise due to increased vibrations.\nPrint Details\nPrinter: \n Utilized Wanhao Duplicator I3 for this project.\n \n Rafts: \n No rafts were used during printing.\n \n Supports: \n Yes, supports are necessary for a successful print.\n \n Resolution: \n Set the resolution to 0.2mm for optimal detail.\n \n Infill: \n The infill density was set at 25% for balance and lightness.\n \n Notes: \n Printed using PLA material.\nSliced with Cura software for precise control over the printing process.\nPlatform adhesion type was set to Brim for maximum stability.\nSupports were generated everywhere for thorough support during printing.\nShell thickness was maintained at 0.8mm for a solid foundation.\nBottom/Top thickness was increased to 1mm for added strength and durability.
