Replicated a design of an old flossing tool for my mother. Surprised the only models online are for the thin handle disposable style. This has a bit of flex to it for tension and allows you to consume the floss packs given from the dental office. Printed in PETG with the assumption that the arms need to be flexible to create tension (without being brittle with PLA, but I may be wrong). The model should be angled like the photo during printing with tree supports enabled. All other settings are just personal preference with infill and arachne wall generation, but I'm sure default settings should be fine. The way to use this:Peel off 8-10in of flossHolding one end of the floss, loop it around the round part once or twice clockwiseRun the floss up the left side notch and loop it under the left tip**If you need extra tension you can squeeze the prongs in slightly**Go across the the underside of the right tip and pull it down the right side notchLoop around the round part again once or t
