Angle Grinder Drop Cutter

prusaprinters

<p>Cut larger rods, bars and bolts more accurately with this tool. It should fit a variety of small angle grinders.</p><p>You will have to position the angle grinder hinged bracket and the job holder to suit your setup. I used a 250 x 250mm scrap board as the base.</p><p><strong>All power tools can cause harm. Do not use if not already comfortable and familiar with angle grinders. All the usual safety measures apply.</strong></p><h3>Print Settings</h3><p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p><p>Prusa</p><p><strong>Printer: </strong></p><p>i3 MK3 MMU 2</p><p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p><p> </p><p>No</p><p> </p><p><strong>Supports: </strong></p><p>No</p><p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p><p> </p><p>200</p><p> </p><p><strong>Infill: </strong></p><p>20</p><p><br/><strong>Filament:</strong><br/>PLA and PETG or ABS <br/> </p><p><strong>Notes: </strong></p><p>PLA should be sufficient for the grinder base and cradle.

However it didn't suit my much simpler needs, so I  borrowed the hinge design because it promised the least lateral movement.</p>
