Gravity Utility Knife
Description
This is my gravity utility knife design. I also made a toy blade if you just want to use it as a fidget toy. If you enjoy the design a like or make would be appreciated. You can find my other toy knife designs [here.](https://www.thingiverse.com/owentf/collections/39890750/things) **Thanks to FormFutura for providing the High Gloss PLA ColorMorph filament used in this post. I especially like the red and black color morph. You can get some for yourself by clicking [my affiliate link](https://formfutura.com/product/high-gloss-pla-colormorph/?aff=6)** **Instructions** - I recommend printing in a resolution between 0.2mm and 0.1mm - The only part that needs supports is the handle. - The video below shows how to assemble the knife. - When assembling the knife it is important to note the orientation of the flexing slider. Its sides are slanted so it only works in a specific orientation. - I would strongly suggest using a lubricant on the flexing slider. It will work without lubricant but its action is much smoother when lubricated. - The threading on the screw is (M8x1.25) and the threading on the knob is (M5x0.8). - If the threading is too tight try printing the screw and knob individually or scaling them down in the x and y direction. **Hardware** - x2 4mm M3 screws, specs linked [here](https://www.mcmaster.com/91292A109/) - x2 M3 nuts, specs linked [here](https://www.mcmaster.com/90592A085/) - x1 utility blade
