3inch Floppy Disk Cleaning Tool

thingiverse

This is a pretty simple disk cleaning tool that I designed way back in 2018 and finally decided to release the files after being asked about it recently. I have also seen other people have taken my ideas and are selling them but not giving any credit for it. So here, have the files to do as you wish. It's pretty straight forward, just slide the disk in and it will automatically open the up the disk cover allowing easy access to the surface. Then just sit the included tool on the centre of the disk, and use it to rotate the disks surface while cleaning it with your preferred cleaning solution. There are two different tools included to rotate the disk, the only difference is one is slightly larger which maybe preferred for a better grip. No special print requirements. Supports are not required as I added a small fillet under the overhangs to make them printable. Probably best to stick to 0.2mm or less layer height. I also generally use 25-30% infill. Do what you like with it as per the license attached. If selling it, please keep the price reasonable, provide credit to the original author (me) and provide a link back to the original design files.
