Simple print removal tool
Description
A simple tool to remove prints from the printer build plate I use IRWIN utility blades. They are .025 inch thick (.635mm) The .STL files have a gap with tabs to fit the notches on the blade. There are 3 gap sizes. .60, .65, & .70mm gap versions. If it is too loose just insert a piece of paper or cardstock to tighten it up. 2 types. short(PRT1) & long(PRT2). I mostly use the short one. I have been using this for months. I thought it was finally time to share. I also made blade covers, but I usually dont use them. There is also a "ribbed" version of all 3 sizes & 2 types. Over time, the end pieces tend to splay out, requiring more & more paper inserts to tighten it up. Eventually becoming unusable. I added re-inforcing ribs to hopefully slow down this process. It still prints with no support. .3mm layers 100% infill no support BRIM may be needed (or maybe not) designed in Tinkercad UPDATED 9-1-2019 ———————————————— added .60mm gap versions added ribbed versions. stronger & longer lasting (I hope) ———————————————— 1-16-2020 after 4 ½ months of daily use, the new ribbed version is still good as new. no paper shims needed.
