Description

Republishing of my redesign on Printables, as I own an X1C and want to share it here too

 

I found a tick on my dog today and, of course, my first though was “has anybody designed a tick remover?”. They did, and I printed a great design I found by @override2231 (on Printables), simple and fast to print, but I struggled a bit to remove it because the narrow path to trap the tick was too short and the walls at the same place were too tall, so I decided to copy the same concept, but elongating the narrow path, and making the slope sharper, so it should slide better and closer to the tick's head (that's what vets recommend).

Recommended print settings:

  • Material: Whatever you want. PLA and PETG should work great.
  • Layer height: the lowest possible. My Bambu X1 allows 0.08mm and I used that one. The thinnest height on the slope is 0.16mm height, so I recommend that one as the thickest recommended layer height. Let me insist in recommending the lowest layer height possible as it's critical for the tool to work properly.
  • Walls: Not relevant here I think, I just made two and works great.
  • Elephant foot compensation: 0.

I hope you like it and find it useful. Any recommendations to even improve it further are welcome. It's my first upload here, I hope I did everything right. Apologises if not.

I'm really happy that you printed it and shared your comment. It's weird but it feels really nice when somebody else prints something you've designed and spent time making it. Thank you very much for your comment
