(Skip to bolded text is you want a tl;dr)

So this design is just for jokes, I got the idea from a post I saw a long time ago. It was some guy giving his friend an angle grinder for Christmas but the angle grinder was inside of a steel cage, which means you need to buy an angle grinder to get the angle grinder inside. I decided to adapt that idea into 3d printing, we all have that filament clipper/plier that comes with the printer idk why but it's kinda gotten universal so i used that design as the template and created this in FreeCAD

the bridging is weird so I extruded the outline and horizontal parts to fix it(so it's kinda like bridging on bridges). There's 14 mm of space for \u201cclipper cage4 wire-Body\u201d if you think you have a different type of clippers than mine, In the photos the print you see is actually \u201cclipper cage3 wire-Body\u201d version 4 actually has a higher clearance because I found that the hole was too shallow so i recommend version 4, if you also have that issue you can do what I did and remove the grips, you can put them on again after it's finished printing(via the holes in the bottom). And is you really wanna print this but have a different type of clipper then I've provided the .FCStd (freecad) files. In terms of printing you can use Cura or PrusaSlicer(I'm not sure if other slicers can do the same). You can follow the videos below and set the filament change to be on the layer before it starts bridging.

(Skip to 0:37 for highlight)

After the print reaches the desired layer rather than putting in new filament(although you can) just press \u201cheat nozzle\u201d wait and keep pressing \u201cpurge\u201d until you see the filament coming out, wait till the filament stops extruding(which might take a while) remove the extruded filament and press \u201cresume\u201d to resume printing.

This should be enough info to print it yourself but if you have any questions

and excuse my trash 3d modeling if you're modifying it.

p.s if you really wanna traps your friend's clippers then make your nozzle temp higher during the filament change there's a visible seam that is a weak point, the high temp will help with that(for prusaslicer at least the \u201creprint last layer\u201d setting in cura chuck used might help with it).
