Knife Sharpening Tool V3

prusaprinters

<p>I really liked<a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1274297"> CNCKitchen's sharpener</a> design, but I wanted some extra refinements, making the construction a bit simpler, using not so many different types of screws. So here's my remix.</p><h3>Changes from V2.1:</h3><ul><li>redesigned handle for quick switching of stones.</li><li>moved legs forward 2 cm for extra stability</li><li>added hole on bottom for adding a 40mm <a href="https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000434397217.html">suction cup</a></li><li>tighter tolerances for 10mm tube holes.</li><li>tighter tolerance for guide-slot.</li><li>changed screw-mount for vertical tube to press-fit.</li><li>added a cap for vertical tube.</li><li>capped holes on feet.</li><li>added user <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1274297">Badpassword's guide</a> (great print-in-place design)</li><li>optional 10mm handle &amp; guide so you only need 1 size tube.</li><li>Created smaller angle guides, you need these to be able to set the angle on the knife itself, to compensate for knife angle. Hardware needed:</li><li>2x 10mm diameter x 180mm aluminum rod/tube for the body</li><li>6mm (or 10mm) diameter x 280mm aluminum rod/tube for the handle</li><li>1x M5x20 hex head bolt + Washer + Thumb Nut for knife guide.</li><li>1x M5x 20 hex head bolt + nut for handle</li><li>glue to fix rods in place.</li><li>10x 10x2mm disc magnets (optional)</li><li>optional 40 mm suction cup for extra stability Sharpening Tips:</li><li>get a set of stones for example 1000,3000 and 6000 grit. Start from lowest grit.</li><li>Soak stones before sharpening.</li><li>sharpen one side of blade until you can feel a burr, then change side, then move to higher grit.</li><li>only apply pressure on the push stroke. don't apply pressure on the pull.</li><li>cover about an inch every stroke, work your way along the blade.</li><li>keep the blade edge parallel to the sharpener edge.</li></ul><h3>Print Settings</h3><p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p><p>Prusa</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Printer:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>I3 MK3S</p><p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>No</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Supports:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>No</p><p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>.2</p><p><strong>Filament:</strong> Prusament PETG grey</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Category: Kitchen &amp; Dining</p>
