Wire Stripper / Cable-peeler / Kabel-Abisolierer

prusaprinters

<h5><strong>Object description:</strong></h5><p>This wire stripper is as the title says, a tool which cuts in the outer insulation of a cable that you can easily peel it off.</p><p>&nbsp;I made the experience that a lot of professional tools work with a spring mechanism and cut often too deep, even into the thin isolation of the wires. Which should be strictly avoided.</p><p>This great tool allows a very precise adjustment of the cutting depth and allows your full control of it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h5><strong>Comments:</strong></h5><ul><li>It is designed for the use of standard 9mm cutting blades. The detailed dimensions are available in the attached photos.</li><li>The clamp and the slider are designed to have the best compromise between backlash free and still good slidable. In my case I had only moved the sliders after assembly several times forth and back to smoothen the surfaces. If this is not enough with your print you can post-process it carefully with sand paper. In worst case I can provide a step-file of both parts if there is really a demand.</li><li>Due to the necessary backlash between the cable and the bore of the tool I recommend to adjust the cutting depth short before the full wall thickness. Even a not fully through cutted insulation can easily pulled off.&nbsp;</li><li><i><strong>Disc_1</strong></i> offers 10 holes for cable-dia. 3,5mm to 8,0mm in 0,5mm steps</li><li><i><strong>Disc_2</strong></i> offers 6 holes for cable-dia. 8,5 / 9,0 / 10,0 / 11,0 / 12,0 / 13,0mm</li><li>The <i><strong>knurled_knob_M5_Nut</strong></i> is designed that a standard M5 nut is to be integrated in the part during printing. You have to implement a <i>pause</i> command in the GCODE. The 3mf-file includes already such a command.<ul><li>as an alternativ you can print the <i><strong>knurled_knob_M5_Nut_open</strong></i>. With this version no <i>pause</i> command is needed and you can insert the nut later.</li></ul></li><li>The M5x20 main screw is long enough that you can clamp both discs together when you don't need the tool at the moment.</li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><h5>Additional parts needed:</h5><ul><li>1x 9mm cutter knife</li><li>2x Hexagon Nut M5</li><li>1x Hexagon screw M5x20mm</li><li>1x Hexagon screw M5x12mm</li><li>1x Metal plate 14x9x2mm (stainless steel, aluminum, whatever you have available)<ul><li>as an alternative you can print the <i><strong>plate</strong></i> attached in the downloads with 100% infill</li></ul></li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><h5><strong>Print settings:</strong></h5><p>Material: PETG or ABS/ASA</p><p>Layer height: 0,2mm</p><p>Infill: 25%</p><p>Perimeters: 2</p><p>Brim: no</p><p>Support: no, only the <i><strong>handle</strong></i> needs a bit support under the nut hole. The 3mf-file already includes the data for a paint-on support.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h5>Additional information:</h5><p>This is a remix of enif's Multicore Cable Peeler available here: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3224787">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3224787</a></p><p>I discovered it more than one year ago, downloaded the STL's, reengineered it completely and made some modifications for a safer handling and a use without any need of a tool.</p><p>I also added a metal-plate that distributes the pressure of the screw over a larger area and avoids material impressions on the handle.</p>
