I’ve compiled a useful set of tools that are a must for 3D printing.
Starting on the left, the typical pliers, cutters and needle nose pliers are a must. I use them to cut a fresh edge on filament and to help remove pieces of excess plastic from the print.
The yellow handled tools are a set of picks that I bought from Harbor Freight. The set actually has 4 different picks even though only 2 are shown here. I use all 4 picks to remove support plastic and rafts.
On the right are Artist painting knives. I bought these at Micheal’s. The painting knives have a nice small edge to get under the print to separate it from the print bed.
