Came out really nice and works perfectly. I only wish it was just slightly easier to hold. My fingers always want to wrap around and sometimes stop the spring mechanism, but other than that, really fun to play with and you do get used to how to hold it after awhile.

Hey I made a print profile for a back cover if you want to give it a shot! I had the same experience haha. I kept getting my hand in the way on accident

Replying to @JDinKC :

Just saw that a bit after I commented, lol. Almost finished printing the backside as I type this.

Replying to @JDinKC :

Came out great. I also did a quick and dirty modification in the slicer to close it off on the end.

Amazing engineering and design! All 5 grandkids want one in different colors, so thanks for that, lol.

Had some issues with the posts breaking on the spring part, he quickly made some modifications to it and works much better now!

hi, thank you for testing and great that it works now. I will update the print profile and use the new slider. Thanks

printed in PETG and it worked well :)

Ha ha ha, I changed the knife model into a comb model, so that it may be safer for children (my son insisted that I make one for him)

@uhltimate

Hi, you were faster than me 😉, i just uploaded a comb alternative.

I printed the plate “with guidance”. This is a much improved design over the original one, especially with the comb. The added track and guide tab really allow the hooks to catch securely. When only printing one blade or comb, there is enough room on the plate to print by object and get a convenient multi-color print without the waste.
