Wider Baseplate for eufyMake E1 cutter

The original cutter shipped with eufyMake E1's Laminator was just not wide enough to cut the right size for the Mini Flatbed. It always took some guesswork, marking, trying to hit the mark, etc.

This model changes that. It has the small lip to push the material against, positioning the blade at the exact spot to cut for the width of the Mini Flatbed.

Preparation

Be careful with the next step. The used plastic is quite stiff and can break easily. I've had one report of it breaking already even though they were careful. Only try this if you can afford to lose your cutter.

Carefully remove the old blade with its rail from the original plate. A flat screwdriver helped me to very gently pry one side out of it's hole.

It might be a good idea to think about other ways to get it out. I am not sure if you could break away a part of the old base to free the rail for example.

Options

There is two variants:

1. a full plate

2. two parts of a split plate for smaller beds and a connector clip

You need two of the connector clips to hold the split plate together.

Printing

For the split plates your printer needs to be able to properly bridge 15 mm gaps. Most modern printers should not have any issues with it.

I printed mine with PETG. Especially for the split variant you might break the connector clips if you use PLA. But it depends on the material.

All plate variants are prone to warping because of their long form / sharp corners. Good bed adhesion, mouse ears or a full brim are important.

Otherwise print with your preferred settings.

Build

For the split version insert the two connectors into one plate and push on the other side. You will hear an audible click once they connect.

For the split and the full variant carefully mount the rail holding the blade. Again: Be gentle and don't break the plastic.

Usage

Insert your material from the side with the blade and align along the small lip on the long end, cut.
