i have the most wonderful knife sharpening system,
the Lansky Sharpener
i have sharpened my knives hundreds of times with this excellent sharpener.
My brother was going to use it the other night with a medium diamond hone,
but unfortunately the inserted thumbscrew bore and attachment end disintegrated under tightening pressure and rendered the holder useless for the system.
Always looking for a rabbit to pull out of a hat, i decided to copy the design and print it on 3D printers!!!
Here is the damaged end, that my brother tried to glue together
yeah, it didn't work too good.
I went to Tinkercad and mocked up the new abomination.
the design process rendered 2 damn nice copies, if i do say so myself
one copy was done on my Ender3 in clear PVB, the other copy was done on the Ender5 in gold PLA
I removed the diamond stone from the old holder and used Vinyl Cement to attach the stone to the holder
And the set is complete again , and i have a spare holder in the event another bites the dust!
if you have not used the Lansky Sharpener,
Run, don't walk, to get one- they are better than sliced bread!!!
i can share the g-code if there is interest from the peanut gallery!
as always, thanks for looking!
