This model is not currently offered as a verified ready to buy print.
What it does
- Won't roll on slanted work surfaces so your blade stays safe and within reach
- Wider blade slot fits third-party blades with different sizes, so you work with what you have
- Reinforced edges resist breaking from layer separation, so your cap lasts through heavy use
- Tapered curves guide blades in smoothly, so you cap your knife faster and safer
Your hobby knife stays sharper and safer when it has a cap that actually fits right. This 3D-printed cap replaces flimsy covers that break or slip off your X-Acto #11 blade. You get a design that holds firm without rolling away on your workbench.
The blade slot is wider than standard caps so you can use third-party blades that don't match X-Acto tolerances exactly. Reinforced edges around the tension slot resist the layer-line splits that wreck cheap caps. Tapered curves make sliding your blade in smooth and quick. Prints easily with no supports or rafts needed, so you can have a working cap in hours from the US.

What it is made of
Designs like this print well in PLA. Compare the materials.
Printed plastic is strong for its size, but it is not metal. We have not load tested this design, so we do not publish a weight rating. Keep it out of a hot car and away from open flame.
