I like the Prusa Printables spatula, and now I don't need to reprint the whole thing when it gets dull.

II like the Prusa Printables spatula, but I didn't like reprinting the whole thing when the edge gets dull.  I can also print the blade with a more durable material.

There are 2 notches in the bottom at the seam to use a small screwdriver to aid in disassembly if necessary.  

I find that I like printing the handle in PETG, at 0.2mm layer height.  The flexible material makes for a nice hold and helps the snap function work.

Making the blades in PLA at 0.1mm layer height makes a stronger, smoother wedge.  The ridgid material works well.  It's a rather small part, so a glue stick or brim can be helpful.

 

UPDATE:    I've added a Version 2.  I made a few minor alterations to the snap geometry.  More importantly, I've added helper discs to the Project file to help hold it to the build plate.  I've also used the Input Shaper profile so it's considerably quicker.
