K-Cup Recycler v6 with Improved Cutting

thingiverse

The K-Cup Recycler v6 doesn't cut deep enough for us. The razor blade cuts the plastic okay, but only pushes the grounds bag in without cutting it. This small adjustment to the Middle and Tray parts provides a deeper cut that separates the grounds bag consistently. This is accomplished with a 0.5cm longer travel in the Middle Body for the Tray. And, the thumb press surface on the tray is extended back by 1.0cm to accommodate the longer travel and provide a more secure press against the tray stop. In addition to the primary modification above, the deeper inset made for the top of the razor in the tray wasn't quite tall enough for our brand of razor blade. This inset was extended down to the top of the button that holds the center hole of the blade.
