minus-squaredeegeese@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·17 hours agoI am down for the 3D printed handle if it could be bolted to a metal blade.
minus-squareOwOarchist@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·14 hours agoYeah, the fake 3D printed plastic blade is pretty lame.
minus-squareMrQuallzin@pie.eyeofthestorm.placelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·14 hours agoIt’d be great for a kid’s “workshop”. It’ll be fun printing things like this for my son
minus-squareLastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·15 hours agoIt wouldn’t be hard to just remove the handle from a hardware store saw and replace it with this. Might have to drill out the rivets, but that’s not too difficult usually.
minus-squareRob T Firefly@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·12 hours agoI wouldn’t trust FDM-printed plastic to hold up structurally under actual tool use, though. It’s very likely to split and shear along the print lines.
minus-squareouRKaoS@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up2·11 hours agoPrint orientation plays a big part in part durability. While an FDM print will never be as strong as an injection molded piece, I bet you could get it to 85% of the strength or so without any post processing.
minus-squareRob T Firefly@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·6 hours agoThis is true, but for something subject to as much focused, repetitive force as a working saw handle I’d still steer well clear.
