I just got my first exacto knife and dropped it right out of the packaging, destroying the provided savety cap. Since it does not clip on anymore I need a new way of storing it with the blade being protected.

How do you guys do that?

I knew that will be answer.... will this finally be the reason to buy a 3D printer?

or ask a friend, or find an existing stl file and order a print -- there's a bunch of services out there

#

or make one.. shouldn't be much more than a dowel and a drill'ed out hole

I dont know a single person with a 3D printer... but drilling out a wood part will probably be the way to go

Saw this and figured I’d ping out cause in a similar situation, and was wondering if anyone knew any better solutions. My mother growing up would just use a block eraser, like a pink pearl. You cut out a small slot at the base and just slide it in. Maybe a good option for you

I recomend the Olfa Snap off 30degree SAC-1

Thats been my replacement to xatos and i've never gone back .

They retract and are flat so they dont roll around.

A piece of Styrofoam or xps rigid board insulation works well, and when it gets beat up just toss it and replace with a new chunk.
