Ryobi Trimmer Blade Setup (Weed Eater / Whacker)

thingiverse

This will fit directly into a Ryobi trimmer once you have removed the string cover and spool. Works on my P2008 model, let me know if it works on other 18V as well. I have uploaded my favorite blades in both 130mm and 120mm lengths. I designed this around using 8mm push clips (https://a.co/d/e9YO2p6). I prefer printing the blades with a 95A (or higher) TPU rubber since they seem to last much longer. Even in PETG, the blades will break if you hit something hard. Print the Adapter and Locker with PETG with 100% infill and 0% fan. Print Blades at 100% infill and 0% fan, regardless of whether you use PETG or TPU. Strength above all else with these parts. Run the trimmer in LOW setting. Run on High WITH CAUTION AND AT YOUR OWN RISK. Much longer blades and heavier/thicker blades will BURN OUT your motor (ask me how I know). These lengths on LOW work well. If you get to experimenting yourself, please let me know your results. I have shorter blade designs and several other blade types as well. If you'd like them please just comment with a request. Shout out to the design that started me on this journey: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5196963. I didn't set it as the remix origin because I modified it so heavily that it felt like a completely different design by the end. If you're set on using string and you have a P2008 model, the string blade attachment is very weak. I have designed a reinforcement piece you can glue in so your string blade doesn't break and fly off, as is too common with this design: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6087773
