Filament cutter with compartment - Fully printed (except blade)

thingiverse

I wanted to create a filament cutter from Vetterick, but my hardware store lacked suitable springs. Instead, I remixed the design to eliminate any need for springs or screws altogether. All that's required is three sections of a blade from 9mm box cutters. Assembly involves sliding the lid into place while lifting the slicing head over the edge. Then simply push down to cut filament. The spring action is fairly gentle, so if it sticks downward, just sand or scrape off the edges of the cutting head. This cutter also includes a holder that can be screwed or taped securely onto the top of your printer frame.
