Awesome files, the kids (and adults) enjoying it.

I did find better design elsewhere with a more sturdy design for the perforation/folding tool. This one: https://makerworld.com/en/models/829210#profileId-773314 (edited)

Ooo that other perforation tool looks great!

In my couple years in 3d printing, this was one of the easiest and best designed parts that went through my workspace.

Flawless print, easy assemble in 2 seconds, sturdy & robust.

This push-fit is so well made that I might remix it into other functional parts for home improvement while I'm renovating the house

Solid 5 stars! 👍👍👍👍👍

Edit: if anyone is giving this less then 5 starts or aren't completely satisfied, then it's time to fix your printer/user error 😂 (edited)

There is something wrong with the screw model... why is it like this???

Printed with Elegoo Rapid PETG
The screws need some force to be screwed in.

Printed in PLA with brim on. The driver feels a little small in my (adult) hand. Perhaps a larger one could be made? The saw slides around a little bit in the folding tool, but the punch side is snug. (edited)

I know it goes against the principle of 3d printing it all, but if you search "cardboard cutter" on amazon, there's one that's like $14 for a pair. I think made by Canary.

The knife works pretty good . I even printed one glow in the dark for night builds haha.

as described do wish the screws didn't have the inside hex prevents using a drill to drive them

@reilyhart I made a drill adapter. Use a 1/4" drive (eg a ratchet) or a 1/4" drive to hex adapter for a drill. https://www.printables.com/model/1134781 (edited)
