Description

This is my gravity utility knife design. I also made a toy blade if you just want to use it as a fidget toy. If you enjoy the design a like or make would be appreciated.

Instructions

  • I recommend printing in a resolution between 0.2mm and 0.1mm
  • The only part that needs supports is the handle.
  • The video below shows how to assemble the knife.
  • When assembling the knife it is important to note the orientation of the flexing slider. Its sides are slanted so it only works in a specific orientation.
  • I would strongly suggest using a lubricant on the flexing slider. It will work without lubricant but its action is much smoother when lubricated.
  • The threading on the screw is (M8x1.25) and the threading on the knob is (M5x0.8).
  • If the threading is too tight try printing the screw and knob individually or scaling them down in the x and y direction.

Hardware
