Folding Utility Knife by cooasty

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

A light duty folding utility knife.
Great build by PvtDBJackson. Clip omitted. Modified some of the dimensions so my printer would give the least amount of cleanup. Print optimized for 100% speed @50% infill,3,6,6. Print time 1hr:24m. Shorter print time will made a tighter fit, where as a longer print time will provide more clearance.
I removed large yellow support with a small screw driver. A cutoff wheel in a rotary tool will remove the smaller support.
Run a utility knife around the adjoining surfaces to break them loose. Slight twisting of the build will help. Work the latch until it moves freely with a nice crisp snap when fully opened.
Push the blade in and secure with a 3x4mm cap screw on one side with a 3x7mm on the other. Smooth the edges with a file & emery cloth.
Build is for a right handed person. A mirror image should provide a left handed build.
Be careful not to cut your self in the cleanup process.
