Customizable Sanding Stick

I've created this OpenSCAD, where you can customize your sanding stick. Even the needed screws are printable. You only need some sandpaper (sheet or strip) and the 4 printed parts.
I've also added the four sticks I'm using in the first picture, as .stl files.
Customizable Settings
- set the length, height and width (picture 3)
- 3 different end styles: none, round and wedge (picture 4)
- set the angle and a smooth round end for wedge style

Step 1
Cut a strip of a sheet of sanding paper in the width of the stick. The length should be about the hole around the stick to the second hole + a little extra length.
Step 2
Wrap the strip around the stick from the edge of the first hole beginning to the edge of the second hole. You may cut the length in this step. You can either use your fingers or the top part to hold the strip in place.
Step 3
Screw the first screw in. Then you can tension the strip, lift the top part a bit and push the end of the strip between the top and bottom part. Use the second screw now.
Optional: You can use pliers to tighten the screws, but don't overtighten it!
