Compliant scissors

myminifactory

This pair is my second pair of useless scissors. ( see here for the first one ) However in this case they are only useless because the plastic isn't sharp enough and it has a bit of vertical flex. I think if this was to be printed in metal ( with some changes to the shape of the spring) it could function properly. So why did I make this? Because it's fun and I wanted to explore compliant mechanisms. See how the "work"
