Most MX-Style switch openers are printed vertically, resulting in low stability of the "tips" which have to pry the switch legs open. This model has been designed to be printed flat in two pieces (both are identical, so print the file twice), giving the tips the highest possible stability and resulting in a much more durable print. The two halves can be pushed together with a puzzle-like lock, but I would recommend adding a drop of glue to properly secure them.
Print 2 halves, without support, lying flat on the bed on the largest surface. This way you will achieve the easiest print and the highest strength - good for opening hundreds or even thousands of switches.
