Mini Table Saw v1 - Direct Drive

Mini Hand Powered Table Saw - Direct Drive Version "A fun and challenging way to cut a slice of bread in half that takes 10 times longer than using a regular knife, but is worth the effort." Check out the video to see it in action. https://youtu.be/jo2JSW73ru8 This mini hand powered table saw is a direct drive version that operates by rotating the crank towards yourself to cause the blade to turn in the same direction. I printed everything without supports except for the crank assembly and the top. My Monoprice Select Mini printer was even able to print the table bottom without supports, although just barely, as some of the layers began curling under before it could bridge the gap and close the tops of the largest openings. The half circle opening in the crank is the hardest part to clean out, but I eventually added a drop of glue to keep it on the crank shaft otherwise it would fall off after rigorous cranking. When attempting to cut something, hold the table in place with a small clamp or get some extra help from a second pair of hands. ------------------------------ You can find the v2 Two Gear version here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2430770 and the v3 Four Gear Version here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2435292
