Description

My kids requested some bug-hunting tweezers, printed in PolyLite Luminous Yellow glow-in-the-dark PLA for night-time fly catching. Dimpled, strong tips to reduce slippage. Edges rounded and points blunted for comfort and safety while leaving tip as practical as possible.

I couldn't find any existing designs sturdy or rounded enough for my kids to use independently, so I created my own design - the customers love it so far! No bugs have been harmed during testing.

Printed well with 5% infill and 5 perimeters in PLA, with 0.15 mm layer height. Many other combinations will probably work well. Glow-in-the-dark filament provides nice grippy surface and low-light entertainment.
