Flossing Tool

This easy-to-to-print flossing tool is angled upward to make it easy to reach your back teeth. Uses about 8" of floss per use.

Printing
This model has built-in supports so do not turn on your slicer's support option. To make the supports and other small gaps print properly, use a layer thickness of exactly 0.2mm.

Also use a line width of 0.4" for most efficient printing.

This is printed with PLA. I would recommend using clear (unpigmented) PLA to avoid any issues with possibly harmful pigments. (Sadly, I've run out.)

Post Printing
There is a tiny 1 layer support in the notches at the end of the fork. You will need to clean these out with a razor blade or Xacto knife. To load with floss, start by creating one wrap through the side notches. Then lace the floss though the channel in the fork and back to the handle, wrapping it another time or two through the side notches.
