#### [>> DOWNLOAD ALL FILES <<](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5372144/zip) ## Filament Cutter (45 Degrees) **I first uploaded this filament cutter to PrusaPrinters (Printables.com) at the end of October 2021. (Link: https://www.printables.com/model/84172)** This filament cutter cuts filament with a diameter of 1.75 mm at a 45 degree angle. The 3D model of the cutter was created with Fusion 360. Printing time is less than 50 minutes and assembly takes 1-2 minutes. The following materials are needed to assemble the (original) **M2.5 version**: - 2x M2.5 cylinder head screws (length: approx. 5 mm) - 2x M2.5 hexagon nuts - 2x M2.5 washer (outer diameter: 5-6 mm) - Snap blade (blade width: 9 mm, 3 parts/segments) For the assembly of the **M3 version with nuts**, the following materials are needed: - 2x M3 cylinder head screws (length: approx. 4 mm) - 2x M3 hexagon nuts - Snap blade (blade width: 9 mm, 3 parts/segments) For the assembly of the **M3 version without nuts**, the following materials are needed: - 2x M3 cylinder head screws (length: approx. 4 mm) - Snap blade (blade width: 9 mm, 3 parts/segments) **Tips:** - If you print the filament cutter with supports, then the supports (in the cutting slot) can be loosened and removed very well and easily with the cutting blade when assembled. - For left-handers, a mirrored version would probably be a bit more advantageous. A mirroring of the stl file (along the x axis) can be realized very easily in the slicer (e.g. PrusaSlicer) **Updates:** - 2022-05-14: Added a version which is assembled with 2 M3 cylinder head screws and 2 M3 nuts. The screw length (thread length) is about 4 mm. The new stl file has the suffix "M3" in its name. The older M3 version without nuts has the suffix "M3 without nuts" in its file name. (Since there were problems with the upload, I have re-uploaded all stl files.) **I am no longer very active on Thingiverse. You can find all my models on Printables.com instead.
