Utility Blade Scraper

Update (2/27/2020): v2.6 Changed holder leg angle to increase preload when closed so blade is held much more securely now. Added filet to top of holder body. Added Initials on the holder body.

After half a dozen prototypes and few dozen sketches, this is my take on the Utility Blade Scraper. It takes standard sized (Stanley) utility knife blades and can be used for scraping things like windows, printer beds, glass, or whatever you need to remove paint, tape, or residue from. The holder snaps closed open (push down on the serrated part of the handle). To assemble, just insert the smaller middle leg at 90 degrees to the rest of the body and pop in the ball joint from the top. Depending on your printer tolerances, the blade is a friction fit in the bottom jaw to help loading in a blade. There's also a hook loop for hanging it up on your printer or tool rack.
