Update 2/20/25 - Added a new thumb pad marked "Final" which should yield smoother finish and print more reliably (see info below)

This is a remix of a great design ("Easy To Print Nail Clipper Jig 530564") by Bluehearthero on Printables.com

Adapted fingernail clipper base securely holds the nail clipper so it can be placed on table. Other hand (fist) can be used to press the lever or can be held in hand. The increased size and shape make it ideal for someone with decreased dexterity and/or Arthritis.

Redesigned to securely hold generic nail clipper. Added divot and tunnel to accommodate a small zip tie to hold in place. Important to place zip tie between the shaft and cutting surfaces of the clipper. This will provide the necessary down/rearward force to keep the clipper in place. An indent was also added for some extra clearance when clipping the nail.

The thumb pad was designed specifically for "Diane D904 Stainless Steel Nail Clippers" found on Amazon. The thumb pad has some friction to hold in place, but super glue is added to prevent any slipping. Please note that this nail clipper lever is angled at the end (Not Square Like Others)

Doesn't Matter

No

50% clipper holder, 90% thumb pad

Print clipper holder as oriented in the STL. Prints well vertically without support. Thumb pad should be printed horizontally with the flat side down. UPDATED Thumb Pad 2/20/25 - Print as oriented, vertically, use outside brim, 90% infill, adaptive layer height (orca/bambu studio slicer).
