prusaprinters

<p><strong>Things included:</strong></p><ul><li>Cutter</li><li>Clip</li><li>Clip for thicker PET&nbsp;</li></ul><p><strong>Cutting the strips:</strong></p><p>Once you printed the cutter file, attach a 18mm utility blade with four big head screws.&nbsp;</p><p>There are 6 different sizes which goes from 2mm to 12mm in 2mm increments.</p><p>The ties are designed for less than 10mm strips, you can &nbsp;modify the scale of the object in your slicer to fit wider strips, in my opinion 10mm is already too much.</p><p><strong>Clips:</strong></p><p>these are made form two parts, once printed, to complete the hinge use a piece of filament, cut it to size, heat the ends with a lighter and press them to make it permanent.</p><p>I included two types of clips, one is for regular pet bottles an the other one for &nbsp;thicker ones (this one have fewer teeths).</p><p><strong>Ways of using the clips</strong></p><p>There are two ways to use the clips&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;Regular mode: Insert both ends of the strip through the hole under hinge part then pass them trough the hole under the latch</p><p>Cable Tie mode: insert one end in the hole under the hinge and pass that same end though the gap of the hinge, use a stapler to attach this end to the rest of the strip, to tie things pass the other end through the hole under the latch and back again through the hinge gap.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
