🟠 Thin layers scraper (tiny+ergonomic)

UPDATE 3.1.2023:

• added V2 version with different inner shaping → same external size & characteristics, quicker print

Info:

• 🟠 round edge → longer edge → scraper lasts longer then other spatula types scrapers
  • if it is less sharp on one side, you can just use the other side
• 🤗 ergonomic pleasant holding
• 💪 easier pressing against the plate  (comparing to spatula type scapers)
  • with spatula it is hard to press on one segment of the edge, with round shape it is easy
• 🤑 much smaller filament consumption (comparing to spatula type scrapers)
• 🍩 with hole, so it can be hanged

 

✅ With this you will remove every thin layer super-easily!

 

Quick review in a video from JanTec:

 

TIP: If the handle part is too low for you → you can try TALL edition of this model: https://www.printables.com/model/341401-round-scraper-tall-edition

 

Print info:

• material:
  • PLA or anything hard (but people are using PETG as well)
• layers:
  • a lot of people just use 0.2mm and are happy with it
  • but you can use variable layer height for finer results (down to 0.07mm where needed -bottom and top part) → see 3mf/gcode example
• TIP: use skirt of 1 layer height for immediate test :)

 

 

❗ How to remove it from the plate after printing:

• metal removable plate:
  • just take the plate away from printer and bend it - model will be removed by itself
• glass plate (non removable):
  • well you may have little problem, people are solving it by putting some tool in the hole in the print (like a wrench) and by some force they pull it off

 

Inspiration:

• i was using for a long time this rounded scraper from BaGoon
  • I was happy with it, because given shape is by far the best for removing any thin layer of printed object
  • BUT it was uncomfortable to hold it, sometimes even painful (too small sharp holds)

 

Happy scraping!
