Cable Slitter R2

thingiverse

I remixed my cable slitter again. Last time I promise. I added a blade cover so only about half of the razor blade is exposed. It’s a little safer now. I had to edit the bottom half a little to accept the longer guard so I don’t think that R1 and R2 are interchangeable. I have printed a lot of the R1’s. Depending on the filament, some of the screws get bound up in the threads. I have sanded the threads, filed the groves deeper, applied mineral oil. I scaled the screw down in the x and y axis, leaving the z axis alone so the threads will still line up. I made three screws, original, -10%, and -20%. Depending on your filament and printer set up, one of these should work. There is a tiny slot that gets fused back together (on my printers anyway) and it should be cut apart with a razor blade. It is located on the opposite side of the screw, in the front, 5mm up from the base. It makes a locking tab for the blade. You can see it in Thingiview. Use an 8-32X3/4 for the hinge bolt Wrap a rubber band around it for an automatic tensioner! This also holds it closed, making it safe to throw in your tool box so you do not get cut up digging for it later. So far I have only printed this in PETG, 235 Nozzle, 70 bed, 0.2 layer, 50% infill
