The dangerous blade on the Large Squeeze Fan Ruggedized kept cutting the skin on my thumb joint (my thumb's interphalangeal joint, for all you fellow medical people like me), so I decided to CAD up a thumb saver.

Thumb Saver Alone file is just the thumb saver. You need to glue or melt it onto the cover (I melted it on with a soldering iron). It is much easier to print.

Thumb Saver and Cover file has the thumb saver attached to the LARGE cover. This is difficult to print because it requires lots of supports, so I think the better route is to glue it on.

I designed this specifically for the large cover, so I'm not sure if it will work for the XL cover. Try it out (alone file) and comment!

 

Q & A:

Q: Why not use the safe fan blade?

A. Produces less air for the same amount of hand cranking.
