Ihave a few spatulas here, either as a little help in the workshop or as accessories for your resin printer.

I've prepared four different sizes. If you need custom dimensions (width, length, radii), feel free to write them in the comments!

The spatulas are made with two materials (soft & hard). The hardness depends on the perimeter, infill, and, of course, the material. The materials are nested within each other due to the design, which makes the tool sturdy enough for everyday use.

Printing:

For the flexible front I recommend TPU or other flex materials. You can change the stiffness by changing the infill and Shore hardness of the TPU you use.

Dry the TPU properly before printing!

For the handle, I recommend something tough like PETG or PA-CF. But PLA also works great.

Slicer:
For the strongest bond I had to separate the spatulas into single objects. Else they won't print bottom and top layers properly.

So make sure  not to moove the parts individually. Always select the TPU part and the handle at the same time to move them or merge them together first.

Scalability:
You can also scale the parts if you need slightly different sizes. But again: make sure to select both parts first and scale them at the same time.
 

Have fun!
