Cutting or knife shield

thingiverse

I saw a video of someone using something similar and I suggested to my wife that this might be a good thing to print. She said, "I would love to be able to hand those to potential customers for my 31 business." So I mixed this up with openscad. Note that the STL file includes her name, phone number, and so forth. She sells "31", a line of nice, personalized bags. If you want to be nice to me :-) print the stl as is and give it to whoever in your household makes bag buying decisions. If you are just interested, I know she will be happy to talk to you about the bags. Anyway, this was whipped up in openSCAD as has most of my stuff recently. I created a guitar pick shape, cut letters out of it for her name and phone number, and added a thing that holds between your fingers. If you are a kitchen pro, when you use a knife, you curl your fingers under. With this gadget, the way the fingerholder works manes you more likely to hold your fingers under. The point of the shield is that you are supposed to be able to hide your fingers behind the shield so that you don't cut yourself if you mishandle the knife. I am mentioning this - I specifically disclaim any warranty or liability. It is your job to determine if this shield will provide you adequate coverage, to test it, and to come to the final determination about whether to use it. My liability is limited to the amount you paid me for these files, that is, zero. If you don't think the item is suitable, you can redesign it however you see fit. I have included the openSCAD - or you can create your own. I will ask that you do not use this for commercial purposes or remix it. Well, let me clarify that. If you print the supplied STL without any changes, you can sell them. But if you want to change the message on them, and use them for commercial purposes, contact me and we will talk. Note: I have added a second fingerguard stl with a more central holder. One person might want one, one the other style. Either could be generated by the same openSCAD source with parameter changes.
