Flexible walnut nutcracker

This nutcracker is designed to highlight the strength characteristics of Innofil3D filament for their recent contest. The nutcracker is printed in their recycled PET and is subjected to a lot of flex, tension and pressure at the same time. And still, it can crack walnuts with ease! It is designed to fit the average walnut, but other same-sized nuts should work as well.

Please note: you will need the right filament with the right amount of flex as well as strength. I have tested mine for days and it is still going strong, but I don't have any long term use experience (yet). It may break after flexing it excessively and fatiguing the plastic. This should be seen more as a proof of concept to impress your friends than an everyday household item ;)
