⚠️ Safety Advice

PLEASE READ BEFORE ASSEMBLY:

Sharp Blade Hazard: This tool uses real, sharp utility blades. Always handle the blade with care during installation and never leave the blade deployed when not in use.

Material Warning: Because utility tasks involve applying pressure, this tool must be printed in PETG or ABS. Do not use standard PLA, as it may be too brittle and snap under pressure, potentially causing injury.

Adult Use Only: This is a functional tool intended for workshop and household tasks. Keep it out of reach of children.

Test the Mechanism: Ensure the blade is fully seated and the slider moves freely before applying pressure to a cut.
