Description
This holder fits a cutter that I bought years ago for cutting aircraft control cable to length. There is no part number or brand on this cutter, and I don't remember where I bought it. Probably one of the aircraft tool mail order places. A brief search of the usual suspects doesn't turn up a cable cutter that looks like this, but there's probably a few other people who have these, and might find this holder useful.
Like my other Gridfinity models, the base is altered to accept 6x3 magnets as a press fit, with the upper surface of the magnet holes modified to make the slicer bridge across correctly for a clean result. Due to the size of this model, I have included sacrificial “mouse ears” in the CAD to give the ends more surface area to help prevent them warping off the bed. These will need to be removed after printing.
The unit pictured was printed out of Overture PLA on my Bear upgraded Mk3S+, using a 0.6mm nozzle, at 0.3mm layer height.
