This video shows how to assemble a 3D-printed toy Knife designed by OwenTF. Here is the link to get the STL files and instructions on how to make this design. www.thingiverse.com/thing:620...
Printed everything acordingly, but cant get it to work, hmm might be the rubberbands, one is bigger than the other one. (all i could find). is there any polishing i need to do aswell?
do you think you could make the same design but for the blade to be able to hold a utility knife blade? would be amazing as this is a one of a kind frame, doesnt require alot of unnescessary crap other otf prints do
I don't get where the tension to extend and retract the blade is coming from. The rubber bands are just going around the outside and holding the caps against the carriage aren't they and not making any contact with the blade.
@@hkk1786 I printed all the small parts in the best detail I could do and made sure the latches could slide up and down with the spring without friction and now it's working. If you push the thumb thing forward and you can feel tension on the rubber band then it's close to working. Just wriggle it around till it shoot up then eventually it'll get easier the more you do it.
It depends on the type of rubber bands you use. If you have very strong rubber bands you may only need two. If you have very weak rubber bands you might need six. Just use whatever combination works.
Amazing! Works great!!
This man is Kinda genius

I probably could make a version with a utility blade but I don't think I will. It would become an actual switchblade which is illegal where I live.
@@OwenTF i dont mean like one with a blade built in it (you probably understand anyway) but just the plain "blade" where you insert the utility blade
Could you make a video of how to put it together correctly and how it works because mine still doesnt work
I working on it.

Im in the same spot. the blade does not move in and out at all.

What are the screw sizes? can i print them?
You can not print the screws. They are 3/8" long, outer thread diameter 0.097", head diameter 0.167".
Why do you need 2 weak and 2 strong rubber bands when the build only uses 2 total?
It depends on the type of rubber bands you use. If you have very strong rubber bands you may only need two. If you have very weak rubber bands you might need six. Just use whatever combination works.
stl download?

what happened to your thingiverse upload?
It has been falsely reported to be against the terms of service and is currently awaiting moderation. Hopefully it will be back soon.
How do the rubber bands make the blade slide out? Surely they just hold it in?
Could you send me the model
I have put a link to the files in the description of the video.
