Important: this model is designed for printing with a 0.2 mm nozzle! With the default 0.4 mm nozzle the teeth will fuse together.
Using a nit comb is crucial for effectively removing both head lice and their eggs. The close arrangement of the teeth on a nit comb allows for the extraction of nits from the hair, which may not be possible with a regular comb. The accuracy of today's 3D printers makes it possible to print this useful tool yourself!
Note: this comb can also be used to detect similar parasites like flea or ticks on your pets.

I designed this to be the best 3D printable lice comb:
Note: you need to use the side with the thin teeth for best results!
Two print profiles are available:
Even tighter teeth spacing might be possible but I did not want to push this as it should be printable with a variety of filaments and printers; feel free to experiment with this by scaling down the model yourself. For example if you scale down the original model with its 0.2 teeth spacing to 75% you would get 0.15 mm teeth spacing.
