Weed trimmer line cutting jig

prusaprinters

<p>I wanted a simple way to cut the line that I bought a big roll of for my yard trimmer. I came up with this pipe design its not perfect as I was looking for 8-¼ pieces and they come out 8-3/8. But that's fine so not worth reprinting.&nbsp;</p><p>Its 3 parts because its too long to print on a mini+ (can't wait for the XL). It has a simple gate at 1 end that you close and push the trimmer line in on the other end. The slot for a knife or razor is at an angle to make loading them in the trimmer easier.</p><p>I'm posting the Fusion 360 model so you can easily adjust it to your needs.</p><p>It will require a little bit of supports on the flat and pin on part A. I had a plan to fix that also but if the proto type works fine why reprint it.</p><p><strong>Edit; </strong><i>Part B v3 added</i>. After about 50 parts I broke the guide tab on part B. It was my fault I was rushing through them and twisted the knife. It would still do the job but I made an improved version that is is thicker so it will not break as easy and added a lead in on the tube after the knife slot as the line would catch a bit as I pushed in the next part.&nbsp;</p>
