Filament cutter

prusaprinters

Hi all!I was unhappy with all of the available filament cutters since they either were weak, made a mess of cut ends, got lost because I had nowhere to store them, were not durable or were uncomfortable/small. Therefore I designed this really sturdy and advanced filament cutter/snipper. It cuts your filament ends at a 45-degree angle with ease. It also has a catch tray which includes a stopper and a sloped middle. This ensures that the ends do not get stuck inside the tool. I designed 2 holders;- 1 version for a 4040 profile, which can also be stuck on any surface with screws or double-sided tape.- 1 version to click on the horizontal frame part of a Prusa i3 MK3(s)Hardware needed;- 2 springs from a pencil- 2 M3x16 bolts with fine thread (for metal)- 4 sections of a small utility bladePrints needed;- (1x) Mainbody- (1x) Plunger (normal version or with HEX imprinting)- (1x) Lid  (normal version or with HEX imprinting)- Optional; Holder of your choosingPrinting instruction;It's really easy! just download and print, no supports or special settings are needed! for the Lid and the Plunger, I recommend turning it 180 degrees so it has a flat face on the buildplate.Assembly;- Insert the blade in the plunger.- Poke thru the sacrificial layer in the boltholes.- Put the 2 springs in the boltholes from the top.- Carefully lift the mainbody and put the 2x M3 bolts in from the bottom. (make sure the springs are fully around the bolts)- Place the plunger inside of the mainbody. (It fits only in 1 orientation, it should be able to push fully down.- Screw the bolts down until you cannot see any metal part of the bolts from the top- You're done! Just put the lid in place, and you can slide the assembly into the holder you chose. Changelog;11/11/2022 - Tolerances adjusted on the holders10/11/2022 - Initial upload
