Push Block Light (no metal)

thingiverse

Update V2: Had to change the screws to hex because the former ones were not strong enough. I remixed the original "Push Block Light" by Trobinou to make it all plastic. I remodeled to use PLA screws (the size changed a bit to make this work). The stl's for the screws are provided. No damage to your sawblade in case of mistakes, no additional hardware needed. I also made the heels to catch the edge of the wood you are cutting automatic, i.e. they slide down when possible. There is also a catch to lock them in the up position by just moving the heels up until they lock. Next I added a deflector mount like the GRR-Rip block. You can use it to mount some plexiglass to prevent routing debris from hitting your hand. I placed the handle a bit oblique for better grip. When you are a southpaw make sure you print the SPHandle. The mounting makes for some extra room between the handle and the deflector. The pictures show both ortohdox and southpaw versions. In the downloads there are also stl's for 4 screws (as well as heels and 2 deflector screws) for sequential printing.
