About this model

I figured it'd be nice to have a place to hang up my thread snips while I was sewing. The Fiskars Thread Snips I use are found almost universally in U.S. craft stores. You can also buy them on Amazon for under $10 (in 2023). Interestingly, when you look closely at the rounded end of the snips, they're irregular. I used calipers to measure a good shape for the hanger and struck gold. They hang beautifully. The width of the hanger is designed to match the width of all standard Command Strips. This is such a simple design that filament type shouldn't matter. For the record, I printed on a Creality CR-10 and used PLA. Please post a make if you decide to print this! I'd love to see it in action on someone else's sewing machine.
