Hands-off Bagel Cutter

thingiverse

This print is a mod from mverive’s bagel cutter. I wanted to 1) have a cutter that can be positioned on a flat, solid surface for stability, 2) avoid having my (or my kid’s) hands near or around the cutting area where the knife blade goes, as even current designs can have the person angle the blade forward or backward in order to get greater leverage or apply greater force, which can injure the palm or fingers, 3) have a sturdier handle (other design on the market has just the cylindrical pole sticking out the side of the holder) by applying the same force over a greater area (added a wide base), and 4) have a holder that could accommodate commercial bagels that were thicker (picture provided shows home made bagels fitting well, bigger bagels fit snugly) .stl files for both holder sizes are included (v2 file is for the more accommodating size) Used PLA, 0.2mm layer thickness, 15% infill (gyroid pattern), supports over buildplate only,
