I'm a European who moved to the USA about 20 years ago. I grew up with the metric system and am still struggling hard with the imperial system. I'm an amateur woodworker and have to measure and do length calculations very often. I see a ton of content creators on UA-cam from all over the world who apparently target the American audience and convert all their work to imperial in their videos. The imperial system is not at all being used in their country and they didn't grow up with it, but they seem to do everything they can to please the American audience by making it seem that the rest of the world is using imperial too. And then there is you ... an American content creator who is working in metric. Thank you very much!!! Merry Christmas @Avel!
Nice little project. I've lost count of how many of these little kits I have. Maybe a dozen. I picked some up dirt cheap and got a bunch as gifts. The problem I have is that I don't need them. Over the close to half century I have been modeling and doing my hobbies I have found I only ever use #11 blades and a basic pencil type handle. Perhaps it is because I picked up 10,000 (yes, 10 THOUSAND) blades from tower hobbies back in the early 90's when they had 1000 packs on for $9.99 and I just got used to them but I have a bunch of others that I literally never use and likely never will.
10k??? Sheesh! I appreciate you sharing. I figured for $3 it wasn't a bad deal. I paid more than that for one with a single blade several years back and still use it every once in a while, even though the blade is as dull as a butter knife, haha.
Nice. I wonder how much filament it would use if you didnt hollow out the back. Sometimes less surface area more solid volume takes less filament and less time to print. 🤷

@@Avel When the end of the world comes seek out my place. It'll be the last best place to get your blades. lol

Good point, I'll have to test that out sometime!
