Ender 3 Scraper Guard/Tapper
Description
I find that with the coated glass bed for the Ender 3, the adhesion is so good that I often need to use the scraper to just get under the edge and lift the part to remove it. Once the scraper is positioned on the corner of the part, a light tap can often dislodge it... but the rounded hilt of the stock scraper is wreaking havoc on my soft knuckles. A wide-flanged flat hilt insert and this mini tapper make for comfortable work. With the flat hilt/stand thing below, storing the scraper on its end is very convenient, but it also puts the sharp end up. That might be a disaster-waiting-to-happen for some of us. I've also smoothed and sharpened the edge of my scraper to get under those edges a bit easier, so it's an ideal scenario for removing forearm flesh. Thus, necessitating a storage guard. With this thing, you can have a storage guard along with a mini tapper. This is a perfect complement to the replacement flat scraper hilt/stand: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3676285 V2 Update: Fine-tuned the tolerance in the scraper blade slot to offer a more snug grip to reduce rattles and unintentional separation when not in use. Also tweaked the overall length of the handle to mate more perfectly with the steps in the scraper handle.
