Here is the new and improved thread snips cover!

Thread snips, sewing scissors, Chinese scissors… whatever you choose to call them (they're pictured below), are quite useful. However, the ends are a bit sharp and can puncture anything easily so a sheath was needed.

In this new version, the grips have been reworked and thumb and finger grips have been added. More importantly, push “blocks” have been added for easier one-handed removal of the cover.

Printing recommendations:

  • 0.40mm nozzle or smaller
  • 0.20mm layer height or shorter
  • Inner/outer wall order
  • No supports needed
  • No brim needed (unless you generally have trouble with bed adhesion)
