Coroplast, corrugated plastic cutter 4mm

thingiverse

I wanted a Coroplast cutter, The professional ones are great, I don't use one enough to order one. I do have plenty of box cutter blades. I tried to set it up so the blade cuts as close to the edge as possible. I will start with the blade holder: I printed at 45% infill, you need some stiffness, triangle infill. It takes five hours. And layer height at .12 The blades I have are not the heavy duty ones. Generic El cheapo blades, not even from the box stores. They are .65 mm thick. I put the blade at a 1 degree angle. I"m right handed, so when sweeping up away from my body. The cutter cuts the plastic sheet on my left nicely. Then sweeping towards my body with my left, it leaves the center section with very little edge left. Sorry lefties. You could kick the blade another degree for a tighter cut. It's not a metal unit, it's occasional use. Go slow. The handle: 45% infill also.You could probably go down to 25% At 45 it took 9 hours. With supports, careful, the supports will grief you. I printed it with the opening slot facing up. That way all I needed was supports for the holes. The screws I used were from a tear down of some other project. Number 6 screws. Both pieces were printed at 35mm/sec. Hope you find it of use. Sorry .rsdoc .dxf files only
