TWO PIECE CUTLERY SET - TWO PIECE CUTLERY SET

A small, retractable, two-piece cutlery set in a 94 x 18.5 x 18.5 x 13.5 mm case to take anywhere.

For the knife I used a number 4 handle scalpel blade.

It supports blades from number 18 to 24.

The handle (external part), is made in two parts so that it can be printed without supports and achieve a good surface finish.

Then these two parts should be glued together taking advantage of the guides so that they are perfectly aligned. Loctite works very well but you have to work fast!

Print two pairs of pieces for the cutlery set (Cutlery_Handle_1 and Cutlery_Handle_2, two of each).

Before gluing the two handle parts, any imperfections that may have remained must be removed by smoothing the inside of the parts. It is recommended to test the correct sliding of the inner part to achieve correct operation.

The case is designed to be printed in VASO mode, one piece at a time. Very fast printing and excellent finish.

Two lids (Case_end_cap.stl) and a link piece (Case_end_cap_link.stl) need to be printed. This piece should be glued to one of the caps.

Note on the texture seen in the photographs;

If a magnetic bed with PEI film is used, the texture of the PEI film can be exploited to be copied on our prints.

To do this, you must print the face side, where the texture is desired, directly on the PEI. This will be the first layer.

Scalpel sheets can be purchased at drugstores.

**These blades must be handled with great care because they are extremely sharp!

Material:

The parts shown in the pictures are printed in PLA and work very well. Just be cautious of the temperature at which they are used. PLA should not exceed 50 to 60 degrees.

They can also be printed on other materials such as ABS or PETG which can withstand higher temperatures.
