Just added some text to the design for two reasons...

1. Just nice to have a mental reminder of what you are about to grab hold of is a hazard and to take appropriate mitigations to reduce risk of injury.

2. The text adds a little extra grip, acting like a knurling effect.

I really like this basic design from "sideburn". I use this tool on a regular basis with prints when I don't want to wait for the bed to cool down and release the print. Since I print nearly everything with a "brim", I peal up the brim with a fingernail, then use this tool as a sort of pry bar. The thin, sharp blade, gets low under the part, snags well, and I use the lever action built in by the handle edge offset from the blade to pry the part away at a corner. Works flawlessly for this purpose. Nice pivot point to maximize effectiveness as a pry tool.

Print on it's side so it's "tall" so it's least likely to de laminate under pry load.Use CA glue, or other effective means, to secure the standard utility blade into the pocket.

**If the blade ever gets dull or damaged, just cover the sharp edge with appropriate tape and toss it out. The point being, just print a new one vs trying to plan for blade swaps.
