HexScraper - Blade Swap Mod

Features:

• Swappable blade to avoid having to print a whole HexScraper when yours is worn out.
• Hexagon with screw threads to secure a 8x2.7mm magnet.
• Hollow Hexagons for decoration.
• 2 Types of blades included: 2 Piece and Single Piece blade.

Description:

I needed to get a scraping tool to get my prints off the steel sheet and found the original HexScraper. 

Then I saw this version:

I realized (even though I don't speak German) that the edge would get worn out and would need to print another one after a while, but I liked the aesthetics of the original one and didn't want to have to use screws, so I designed a version that can have a swappable blade so you only need to print that in the future.

Because there are now 2 points of connexion, I decided to include a 2 piece and a 1 piece version, in case you need something sturdier.

I also got inspired by the following remix:

But I don't like commitment, so I designed a Hexagon magnet holder with screw threads so I can get my magnet back easily later on. (Or use it on another hex project with same hexagon size).

I also stole the following design, just made the tolerances a bit tighter:

Print Notes:

I included a 3mf file with the correct orientation to print the blades and the holder. The STLs are also oriented the right way for printing.

The 2 piece blade edge is printed upside down to avoid overhangs and same goes for the handle itself.

I'm printing at 0.15mm with 15% infill using PLA.

Notes about assembly:

I made the tolerances tight, so it might need some fiddling to assemble. 

For the 2 piece blade → Slide the edge piece with the first layer printed facing up into the blade edge holder, then snap the blade holder into the handle.

For the magnet hexagon → I recommend inserting the magnet first, then half the hex with the magnet into the handle and then use your pliers to close the top half as it might be hard using your fingers. Finally, push it so its flush with the handle.
