Description

This is a handle that serves three functions when cleaning fish: a razor blade to cut open the belly, a scoop to clean out the guts, and a scaler to scrape off the scales. This multi-functional tool is all that would be needed to quickly and effectively clean fish in order to increase the storage life.

Materials and methods

Material: PLA
Layer Height: 0.2mm
Shell Thickness: 0.8mm
Fill Density: 20%
Print Speed: 70 mm/s
Printing Temperature: 220 C
No printed supports necessary.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Blade side MUST have blade in place during printing. Place the blade in the cavity during the print once the layer height matches the blade thickness. This will ensure a tight fit and keeps much tighter tolerances than can be printed in a flipped orientation. (See included image or full product page.)
