Improved Kobra S1 Poop Chute Cutter Mount

Description

This mount holds the Anycubic Kobra S1 cutter blade securely at the correct height and also includes retaining guides so that it won't come loose or fall out. 

This my (improved) version of the Kobra S1 filament cutter mount, similar in function to the Poop Chute Cutter Anycubic Kobra S1 by “YOYO”. This version isn't quite as polished and may show some minor seams, but it fits and works perfectly, and you're free to modify/remix it as you wish, excluding commercial use. 

NOTE: This isn't a remix, this is a 100% from-scratch version that is free to use and modify with no restrictions.

This took a lot of measurements and more than a few test prints to get it right, but the finished print should fit snugly and securely. 🙂 This also prints well on both FDM and resin printers. 

No special settings are needed and no supports are required. On my Kobra S1 it takes about 15 minutes to print. Due to distortion in my low-end camera, some of the images make the model appear “bowed” but the model is actually flat. 

Assembly and Usage

• After printing the mount, press the cutter blade into the mount from the top so that the curved top of the cutter is almost flush with the top of the mount. It should extend only about a millimeter above the top surface. The simplest way to do this is to insert the blade, turn the mount upside down, and press the mount against a flat surface so the blade is almost flush with the top of the mount. 
   
• Fit the assembled cutter and onto the top of the waste chute and press it down until it bottoms out. PRESS DOWN FIRMLY ON BOTH ENDS TO MAKE SURE IT'S FULLY SEATED. 
   
• After installation, ALWAYS check the nozzle-to-blade clearance- turn the printer off and manually move the print head by hand back and forth over the cutter to make sure the nozzle doesn't hit, touch, or scrape the cutter blade. 
   
• There should be enough friction from the retaining tabs to keep the blade firmly in place. If not, a small piece of tape can be used to “shim” the blade for a tighter fit. 

If you have suggestions for improvement or remix this, please let me know. If you remix this, I'd love to see what you did with it. Again, this model is free to use, reuse, remix, modify, distribute, etc. The only restriction is that no commercial usage is allowed.
