I know, as I said in another comment I designed everything starting from some Stanley blades I had and thought they were the standards. Btw i should fix this by making the body a little bit longer and upload a profile for US standard blades

(Updated) Great print and smooth mechanism, but it did not fit standard US blades. I had to break one in half and glue it in. I could have done something wrong though. I’m new. Update: Designer reached out and offered to redesign! I will be printing again! Changed my rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hi Sam! no worries you've done everything right. The lenght comes from a pack of Stanley blades I had, it's my bad because i thought they were the only standard (50x19x0,4mm)... I think i can fix this for standard US blades btw and uplouad a different profile
