Mini Guillotine

Video: https://youtu.be/Z2WZFLuU8CU I took matters into my own hands since I couldn't find free directions online, and put in the effort to reverse engineer and scale up a 1790's French style Guillotine by a factor of one-sixth. Be aware that the blade in my version is genuine, making it hazardous (check out the video). Although I'm only using it for chopping carrots and other vegetables, it could potentially cause serious injury to your finger! If you want a safer version, consider printing the blade without including the weights. I uploaded 25 files. I hope that's enough for you to work with models. Since I haven't printed out the guillotine yet, I'm counting on your skills to make it happen. I broke down the individual files and created assemblies (base, table, etc.), giving you plenty of options to choose from. My main concern is the sliding of the blade assembly. You may need to do some sanding on the groove to get it moving smoothly. If necessary, I can rework the part with a larger groove - just let me know.
