Tacblade Utility Knife

This is my folding knife design for disposable Stanley style blades.
Its a hybrid between a friction folder and a flipper.
Designed for the UK so no lock, but is very stable in the open or closed position.
100% printable, the bolt best at 0.12mm layer height and all other parts at 0.2mm layer height.
Its been designed to print so easily, no support, no rafts, no brims. Very lightweight but also rugged design.

Print at 20% infill 0.2 layer height no support, no brim
The bolt is best printed at 100% infill
The screw and screw hole can be tight at first,
just screw in a few times, tighter each time to clear the threads.
The tolerances are very tight so take care on cleanup and sanding.
square all edges and inner holes for piviot, any elephants foot from first layer should be removed.
You can lubricate the pivot with oil if you want.
