Description

Version 3 of my bottle cordage maker. I made a version 2 then realised that both versions 1 and 2 sucked so made a version 3.
More info in video: https://youtu.be/ZrLhaQKYRrs

 

The purpose of the tool is to shred plastic bottles into cordage. this cordage has many uses, such as string, as a binding material (kinda like zip ties but stronger), and to make custom cable wraps. Its also popular with bushcraft hobbyists since sadly, plastic bottles are commonplace nowadays. In a bushcraft sense it is fantastic for lashings. I demonstrate all of these uses in the video. 

 

Overall version 3 is much easier in every aspect. It doesn't need to be assembled, its easier to print and its easier to hold and use. Left is for left handed people and the other file is for right handed people. 

video includes info on how to print, use and assemble. Its a single piece print, would recommend 100% infill even if it works fine with 25.

 

Apart from the printed part you need a pencil sharpener blade, a m2*16mm bolt (but bigger works fine), and optionally but highly recommended is a 15mm length of sheet metal 6.5mm wide. I used brass but whatever works. Another pencil sharpener blade works as well. The video contains build instructions but it really is very simple.
