Irked by standard issue trimmer guards (white) for the Wahl "Peanut", I designed and printed guards (green) with the specified length the whole radius around. I have tested these and am pleased with their performance.
Benefits:
No sharp edges/points to jab your face while trimming.
Design allows ppl with motor difficulties to hold trimmer at any angle and get the same length cut (just might take some more back and forth trimming).
Possible detriment:
Doesn't "lift" hair perhaps as well as traditional style guard.
Have designs for a 2, 3, and 4. Work pretty well! If you want a custom length you could let me know.
Printing:
For best results, orient guard to print so that the uppermost line/edge forms the printing base (makes contact with the tray or underlying support material) and print so that the only support is touching the base (not on model).
When done you may want to remove support material with needle-nosed pliers/steel brush.
I recommend using a metal file to make sure the whole radius of the guard is smooth to avoid irritating your skin or catching hairs.
