FOLDX - Foldable Multi-Tool - Bolt On Grip Version

Overview

FoldX is a 3D printable foldable tool, taking inspiration from the classic Swiss Army Knifes. Make your own 3d printed every day carry tool with this modular kit. Choose from a variety of tool heads available and make your own knife, boxcutter, mini-caliper, bottle opener etc. or make your own using the tool head template.

Enhancements:

  • Enhanced Comfort: A slightly larger and more ergonomic shell for comfortable handling.
  • Improved Retention: A beefier spring that ensures a more secure hold on the tool head, providing a firmer and more reliable folding action when opening and closing.
  • Increased Durability: The new design is secured with M2 x 6 screws, enhancing the overall robustness and making it easier and more logical to switch tool heads compared to the previous model.
  • Mounting Options: Included two bolt-on options:
    • Heat Insert Shell: For a stable and heat-resistant attachment.
    • Direct Screw Shell: For a straightforward screw-in installation.
  • Pre-Supported Option: While you can get away printing the overhangs without supports I've also included a pre-supported easy to remove version which guarantees a clean result of the slots.

 

These enhancements make this tool holder not only more comfortable and durable but also significantly more user-friendly for tool head changes.

The grips can be printed as one piece or separately and can be superglued in place.
