M2 X-Acto Knife and Cutter Holder

thingiverse

This knife holder is an accessory to the MakerGear M2. This model will hold an X-Acto knife and spare blades as well as a filament cutter conveniently on the right side of M2's frame. Both of these tools I use the most so it made sense to make a holder that would give me easy access to them all of the time. This file was made by my good friend Rick Silz which has helped me out while I was leaning my CAD software. Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoy!!! Instructions I printed this model vertically using PLA at a 0.25mm resolution. I used a 2-layer shell and 30% hex infill slice profile. The knife holder bolts to the M2's frame using a M3 x 25mm screw and nut through the existing hole on the right side of the frame. A piece of double-sided tape can be used between the holder and the frame to keep the holder from swiveling on the screw. The X-Acto knife used in the pictures is an Excell #15001 which holds a #11 knife blade. The knife holder will accommodate 14 - #11 blades in the square blade holder at the top of the model. The wire/filament cutter shown in the pictures is a Hakko CHP-170 wire cutter which fits nicely on the incorporated hook on the side of the model.
