Disposable Tongue Scraper

thingiverse

This is part of my series of useful household objects intended to justify the 3D printer as a household tool and not just something for making models and toys. This is a disposable tongue scraper designed to fit the average mouth. It prints very fast and uses very little material. When printed with PLA (which is recommended) it uses less than 10 cents of material and prints in less than half an hour. It can easily be scaled for larger or smaller mouths in the slicer. I tested my prototype last night and it works as well or better than my store bought tongue scraper and cost roughly 1/50th as much. Being made out of PLA it is biodegradable; coupled with it's low cost it makes it disposable as not to harbor bacteria and potentially become a source of infection.
