This is a complete Redesign of my original OTF knife design that was pretty popular until Thingiverse removed it.
In response to this injustice I recreated it from scratch to make it far more reliable as well as replaced the blade with a family friendly reminder to have a great day. Nothing dangerous to flag here, thingiverse :) .
Assembly is simple and requires 1 single rubber band. Please refer to the photos here.
I've also included a Comb blade and a Plain Template blade to anyone who wants to modify it.
Enjoy!
*For anyone who doesn’t have a 3D printer or wants me to make them a blade with a custom phrase I created an Etsy Listing here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1137980972/3d-printed-otf-knife-comb-customizable?ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1
Update 12/31/21:
Just added some tabs and notches for the bottom and top shell to snap together much tighter.
Update 1/5/22:
-Beefed up the walls on the Top Shell.
-Made the Leaf Spring Slightly taller to prevent it from sliding up and disengaging.
-Made the Hooks more aggressive for the Rubber band to not slip out of position.
