Cool.Lol... Let's make it official. "Beta testers needed for this one of a kind two-piece, no moving parts, minimalist GEM style SE compact razor".
I'll upload the files on Thingiverse later today after a small modification to the handle.
Why?Oi. Stop it, yu gits. A 3D printer is not in the budget but with the number of interesting designs being chugged out between the two of yous I'll end up having to buy one.
I was just kidding. Apologies I managed to offend.
I did not spot any offensive remarks. Don't worry.

And that lovely finish is the reason I will stay away from the own-you-own-3D-printer rabbit hole.
Lol... I have designated areas for 3d printing, and you are correct, it's not my living room. SLA printers have come a long way, and the chemistry side of it is not what it used to be. But you're right, you don't have to go down that rabbit hole if it's not up your alley.And that lovely finish is the reason I will stay away from the own-you-own-3D-printer rabbit hole.
I have a feeling you are not doing that in your living room. Unless, of course, you are single
This is really great. It's also really similar to a concept I was playing with a few years ago. Yours is definitely better.The SLA files for the 3D Printed GEM SE Razor are now available on Thingiverse. The only difference is that most of the sharp corners have been rounded. Of course, you can print the SLA files with an FDM printer but it might not be able to translate the small radiuses on the comb properly, and it may just create unwanted artifacts. I did a quick test print in SLA and a 0.05 layer setting is more than enough resolution for this design.
GEM Single Edge Safety Razor "Triceratops" by rogerquin
This is a GEM style SE razor appropriately named "Triceratops". Andreas from https://razors.click named it Triceratops for its protruding blade. This lightweight razor is very easy to maneuver, and its somewhat aggressive level provides a bss shave with little effort. It is very easy to print...

Yes, but there are many variables that come into effect. I'm not an expert in 3d printing media but from my experience, resin's thermal stability varies based on color, curing method, curing time, brand, and type/size of design of course. Most resins are re-enforced with a mixture of glass or ceramics for improved rigidity and are stable near 90c. I believe they are commonly sold as rigid resins. If I print resin, it is mainly for display. In the beginning, I used to over-cure and found out the hard way that the prints were more brittle and prone to breaking. I've had all-around best results using clear resins.@SlimGem Have you had any issues with thermal stability of SLA prints? I'd thought resins usually top out around 80°C.
Thank you! Wow! Thanks for your kind comment! Your razors are a work of art. The Sabre is one slick looking SE. I designed a GEM SE with interchangeable plates a while back and the Sabre was one of the few that inspired my idea. Of course, mine is plastic and it looks nothing like it.This is really great. It's also really similar to a concept I was playing with a few years ago. Yours is definitely better.
Oh cool! Yea the Sabre started life looking quite a bit like this. Over time it morphed into a three-piece.Thank you! Wow! Thanks for your kind comment! Your razors are a work of art.
