Full credits go to benswanson4 for the original design which I modified.
Main Changes:
I modified this to work with my Cachet Clipper pro; it needed to have a slightly bigger base (about 1mm in width and less than half a mm in depth), shortened the back clip so it does not hit the metal plate.
-Modified the clip part so that it works better with my device; maybe this will work better for your model, maybe not. The Cachet needed it.
Logistics:
-I used the old device as a template to rebuild the whole device in sketchup so that it is a bit more modifiable for anyone who wants to do so.
-I uploaded the clip part alone so that anyone can build something around the base using sketchup
Alternative Print Layout
I increased the strength by rotating for printing on the side; this does cause some issues with the slicers. For this to work, you must use Cura's "Keep open faces" option under the expert settings menu. This makes the blades stronger as you can keep them hollow and they won't have those weak joints.
-Note that this method does then have it's own issues, notably warping
