Cylindrical rod/tube cutting jig, mounted on 2040 extrusions

thingiverse

I built a jig to chop my aluminum rods to size before attaching rod-ends to them for my one-of-a-kind deltabot, so I created these quickly. They were made in haste, so it's not perfectly customized, but should be relatively simple to adjust. Print both pieces and attach to 2040 extrusions with M5 screws loosely at first. Push the rod all the way through to line up the pieces carefully. Tighten the M5 screws firmly now. Use an M3 screw and nut to secure the clamp on the cutting jig tightly in place so the rod stays firm while you cut accurately. Cut down the groove precisely in the middle, trying your best to keep it straight or you might cut into the plastic and damage the jig.
