Print in place pet razor comb for removing matted lumps.

My very annoying cat (see profile) keeps getting lumps of sticky crap and seeds stuck in her fur, with matted lumps forming around them.

Combing it out would be a fools errand and traumatic for us both.
Scissors work to just cut out the offending lump but i always worry about cutting too close to the skin on a wriggling pet.

This model mounts a razor blade into a a comb,
its the small disposable kind of razor used in safety razors and straight razors.
this allows you to comb under the lump and slice out the whole thing in one fell swoop without the risk of cutting your pet.
the guard is set at 0.6mm at the sides with regular comb arms to lift and get under any matted fur. You can rub your hands on it and it won't be able to cut you.


other versions
once i had the idea i made a few spin off versions I've also included
These are probably better used on people than animals
V2 - without any sort of comb just a 0.6mm guard
V3 - effectively a straight razor
V4 - one side as V3 one side as V2

Printing instructions
The razor blade is physically imbedded into the print, PLA won't stick to the razor so instead its “caged” inside the model so it cannot move.
You have to insert a pause print just before the bridging layer that goes over the razor blade.
you then place the razor blade in the tiny indent and continue printing. the print head should just miss the razor.
As the razor is very light and doesn't have much to grip onto you may want to apply the tiniest amount of superglue to the middle of the razor as you place it on the model just to keep it from moving out of place during the first layer that goes over it
