Pill Cutter 2.0

thingiverse

After over 2 years of using my original Pill Cutter, it occurred to me that there was one place that I could make an improvement. With the original Pill Cutter, I would sometimes be in a bit of a hurry placing the pill, and it would bounce up a little and not cut the pill exactly in half. The improvement (which you see in the left side of each pic) is that the V now slopes toward the point, thus enticing the pill to be better centered. I have put all three pieces into the Thing section even though only the bottom has changed (so if you've already printed the original, all you need is the new bottom piece). I used PLA+ and 10% honeycomb infill. Obviously, you can use whatever and put whatever infill in. One tip: Only push the blade down until you hear a click. At that point the pill is cut in half. Pushing the blade all the way through the pill tends to crush it a bit.
