Description
I realised the sleeve that holds the scalpel in, went missing when I almost stepped on the blade lying on the floor. Couldn't find the sleeve that held it on, so designed a replacement.
It's in two parts. The flat piece fits into the cut-out of the blade holder and stops the blade from leaving, or indeed moving too much. The surround holds these together.
Takes a minute to print and minimal filament. PLA should be tough enough; the only stress is on the surround's tight fit, and it's a static load.
