đ Utility Knife â Ergo-Grip & Wire Stripper
The ultimate ergonomic and multi-functional cutting tool for your workshop.
The Ergo-Grip Utility Knife is a rugged, high-performance tool designed for makers who value both precision and comfort. Whether you're breaking down filament boxes or stripping wires for your next electronics project, this knife combines a bold, tactical aesthetic with a rock-solid mechanical fit.
⨠Why print this?
- Ergo-Comfort: Unlike standard flat utility knives, this design features a deeply contoured handle that fits naturally in your palm, significantly reducing hand fatigue during heavy use.
- Dual-Purpose Utility: Includes a dedicated built-in wire stripping notch, allowing you to prep cables on the fly without reaching for another tool.
- Safety First: Comes with a custom-fitted, snap-on blade guard to ensure your workbench and fingers stay safe when the tool is not in use.
- Two-Tone Aesthetics: Optimized for high-contrast colorsâprint the grips and body separately to create a custom look that stands out in your toolbox.
đ ď¸ Compatibility & Requirements
- Hardware: Requires 6x BT3x8 SHCS Self-Tapping Screws (perfectly compatible with the screws found in the Bambu Maker's Beginner Kit).
- Blade: Precision-engineered for standard trapezoid utility blades. The internal tolerances ensure the blade stays rock-solid with zero wobble.
- Print Optimized: Designed with smart orientation in mind, ensuring a sturdy build and a professional "factory" finish straight off the build plate.
đĄ Usage Tips
- Pro Tip: For maximum durability, I recommend printing the "Knife Body" Â with at least 3 walls. Using PETG or PLA+ will ensure the screw holes remain tough over time.
- Assembly: Place the blade into the main body first, then secure the blade clamp and the decorative grip plates using the self-tapping screws. Note: Do not overtighten the screws!
