Yet another xacto knife blade cover. I designed this one specifically for:

  • Printing lying flat on the bed, with no support
  • A mechanism to tightly hold on to the blade
  • A slope/index on the cover, so I know which way the blade is facing and not accidentally slice my finger open (sounds stupid, yea I know, but I'm clumsy and I've done it once)

There are 3 versions here, depending on which mechanism you want to use:

  • Magnet: Use 2 * 6x2mm magnets on each side of the cover
  • O-Ring: Use a single rubber o-ring around the printed indentations
  • Plain: Nothing

Print instructions

Quick printing tips:

  • Prefer PETG, but PLA is probably good enough
  • Print laying flat on the bed
  • No support
