)

This version holds a single tool head and features a grip-shaped design for enhanced ergonomics and ease of handling.

**Assembly Instructions**

The assembly process is straightforward: simply print the parts, snap the interior pieces together, and close the shell. It’s secure as is, but for added confidence, you can apply a small dab of superglue at the shell’s contact points.

FoldX - Foldable multi-tool - Grip Shell

FoldX-Grabshell-Singlemount-.stl


This is an ergonomic utility blade holder modeled to fit a standard Stanley blade. It does not need screws as the head of the holder has a small latch that bends down allowing to slide in the blades. Light duty use only.

Prints in 3 pieces as pictured and snaps together by contact, you can put a tad of glue in the holder to secure everything in place. No supports needed. Make sure you have a good first layer so that the blade holder latch does not fuse. My slicer makes a 0.5 width first layer by default so i changed it to 0.42 and the clearence is perfect.  Use extra walls and  over 25% infill to have a firm piece.

Update: Added 2 sheath options; lid only cover & belt clip holster;

FOLDX - Foldable Multi-Tool -  Basic Kit 
 No Screws, No Supports.

I first designed this as a foldable utility blade holder with inspiration from the classic Swiss knife folding mechanism.  I then created other tool head options using the same body.

 The assembly process is easy—just print the parts, snap the interior pieces together, and close the shell. It’s quite secure on its own, but if you want extra confidence, add a small dab of superglue on the shell’s contact points.

Printed in PLA, it's perfect for light-duty usage, like desk or office tasks. If you're planning on heavier duty use, you might want to experiment with different materials.

I've been giving away a bunch of these to friends and family, and they all really enjoy them—especially for keeping at their desks for quick tasks.

Included :
-Single tool-head holder.
-Utility Blade Holder: Compatible with standard utility blades (Stanley 1992)
-Short Utility Blade Holder: Fits smaller "D" shaped utility blades
-Soft Saw Head

3D PRINTING SETTINGS
Files are oriented to print without supports.
The "cork remover" helix part needs lots of part cooling to print successfully without supports so crank the fan to 100% and if your printer has an auxiliary fan go for it!

This was printed and tested in a Creality K1 printer.
