Description

My blades were 8.95mm wide per segmentation and the slots in the original were 8.70mm, so were simply not going to fit, If I'd simply done scaling then the fit would be very loose on the thin sides!

This is just a crude mesh modification that pushes them out to 9.66mm long inside, it was either this or dremel the blade to fit(and that doesn't sound safe or fun). This also kept at least 2 walls on the edges when printed at 0.4, so seemed a reasonable compromise.

Suggest scaling X and Y to 99% for an easy fit. Most folks printing original commented they had to sand things down to fit, so the tolerances were always too close!

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

Mesh modification that pushes the blade's edge-walls out to 9.66mm long inside, fits my 8.95mm wide blades quite well! It was either this or dremel the blade to fit(and that doesn't sound safe or fun). This also keeps at least 2 walls on the edges when printed at 0.4mm, so seemed a reasonable compromise.
