PTFE/Filament Cutter V3.0

PTFE / Filament Cutter V3.0
 

This version is now smaller, uses less hardware, and more fine-tuned.

This tool can be used to achieve a square cut on your PTFE tubes (4mm and 6mm) as well as 1.75mm Filament in 90° and 45°. (If you ever need to).

I had an issue with those I could find, which had exposed blades when stored or not in use. I also did not like it that they had odd shapes. This fits well within the gridfinity universe length and height wise.

You will need some hardware

• 2 x M3 Bolts, 14mm
• 2 x M3 Nuts, (will be press fit and captured)
• 1 x Razor (it will be sandwiched between 2 parts with a ‘chuck’ through the middle slit of every standard dual razor)

Print in whatever material you wish, PLA works just fine. Havent tried materials with shrinkages but tolerances have been designed into the model.

The built is pretty much self-explanatory, after assembly, give it a few twists open and close to wear in the fit!

If you wish to have the f3d model, I would be more then happy to provide upon request.

V3.0

• Reduced over all size

• Less hardware, one less set of M3 hardware
