I wonder if there's any way to make the threads a little tighter so it requires some force to turn thereby keeping it from coming unscrewed when you don't expect it. Maybe a piece of plumbing tape would work.

It wasn't an issue, other than when j-hooking around my jawline. I try to be careful not to over tighten considering the material. To insert and remove the blade you have to unscrew the handle a bit. The blade slides in and then has to rotate upwards so that the tabs on the blade fit around stops. Are you talking about teflon tape? It might work, but might also have to be reapplied. I like to remove my blades from my razors and store separately, so I'm all about screwing and unscrewing!
Have you seen Jayaruh's video? If not, here is a link.

He also has another video showing loading of a injector blade. I believe there are a couple of shave videos with the razor as well. Jim does a real nice job!
A small o-ring between the head and handle may help.
Not sure how that would impact the top of the handle securing the blade against the top of the head? I vaguely recall reading a post maybe by twhite where he used a shim as there was some issue with the material wearing. Every time I tighten the handle, in the back of my mind I think...not too tight. It would be interesting to know how this 3D printed material holds up over time.
