Bread slicer guide

Bread slicer guide

Made as a rough and ready guide for slicing bread out of a bread maker (Panasonic bread maker, not commercial size loaf). The design will accommodate a medium, large or extra large loaf from the bread maker. Place the “fingers” (what I am calling the guide for the knife) one way for thick slices and the other for thinner slices. There are 4x fingers for each thickness to allow four slices to be cut at once without repositioning the bread. The “thick” side is a 15mm slice of bread. Turn it around for a smaller 12mm thickness of bread. I have found that the 12mm thickness is more than enough for a decent sized piece of bread to toast.

Admittedly some refinement is needed but this does the job intended and is easy to print. 

Refinement needed: 

• Walls are all way too thick and thinning would make printing a lot less costly
• Gaps are made for a standard 3mm thick bread knife. However the space where the bread sits can be too far apart so the bread knife will not have much mobility whilst cutting bread
• All parts fits inside the base plate. However, if thinning pieces, the base will need to be made slimmer
• Headboard piece needs to have filleted edges on one side otherwise it is difficult to get out of the base from storage
• 12mm thickness should be the thickest size. Perhaps the smaller side should therefore be c.9mm

Enjoy this easy print.
