Leather strap cutter with protected blade

thingiverse

The original design is awesome, but I didnt like the idea of an exposed blade on either side. My printer tolerance also sucks, so I opened up the tolerance for the blade and the 3mm nut slots. This stops the blade from being exposed except between the two blade holder components, which should only be reachable from your sheet of leather. blade holder takes 2 small 3mm screws, 2 3mm nuts for the actual blade mounting point, and 1 longer 3mm screw, with at least one nut, though washers would be recommended, for the non-blade side. One 6mm nut and bolt for the strap width adjuster, per the original design. Punch a hole in a piece of scrap leather in the same weight you're cutting, and use that as a spacer between the blade holder parts on the non-blade side. This design also makes the blade holders slightly thinner so you can slot thicker pieces of material through the blade holder. strapCutterBladeHolderLeft.stl and strapCutterBladeHolderRight.stl do not need support. Print the handle vertically, and use tree supports for easy removal. Everything else shouldnt need supports.
