Description
a friend wanted a cardboard strip cutter to make cat scratchers, I found one here but it needed supports to be printed so I decided to modify (or rather redesign) it so it can be printed with no supports. This one requires a threaded insert (I used M4) to not rely on threads against plastic.
Cut strip size is 43mm, it's easily adjustable by changing cardboardCutSize variable. If there's interest I could upload several sizes.
2024-11-07: Added model for thicker cardboard. You can adjust the thickness of the cutting hole using cuttingHoleSize parameter.
Print in original orientation, I used 3 perimeters with 15% infill for some stability.
I also parametrized my model, here's the link
