Technically not a remix but inspired by @xyren's blade cover.

Plenty of X-acto knife blade covers on the interwebs but I couldn't find one that fit my X2000 blade holder, so Fusion 360 to the rescue.

It has the same attributes as xyren's design that makes it an improvement over the original dome-shaped cover:

  • Prints without support.
  • Lays flat so won't roll away.
  • Uses magnets for extra security (optional).
  • A slope on the cover so you know which side the blade is facing.

Printed with transparent Overture PETG, 0.2 mm layer height, 10% infill, no supports.

The magnets are 6 x 3 mm. They should snap fit into the designated openings, or you may put some superglue in. 

If you like what I'm doing…
