8-strip PCR Tube Opener

thingiverse

Due to interrupted supply chains a lab in my home town ran out of the original tube strip openers from wizbiosolutions and asked for a replacement. Here it is. This design is currently tested by the lab, so **use at your own risk**. They still need to validate that the remaining surface roughness does not contribute to cross contamination and that the material used (PETG) can be cleaned well enough. This **requires** to be printed standing upright as the design profits from higher material strength in X-/Y-direction. So **do not use the single opener file**, this is for display purposes only. Use the standing stack which already includes support structures to make it printable and stick to the print bed.
