Description
5 mm spacer with number for Simple PET Bottle Cutter. I created a 5 mm spacer just to print these spacers:
(two of each because you need spacers on both sides) and then by combining these spacers I can cut strips with widths of:
The advantage of having this combination of spacer pieces is that different strip widths are needed for different PET bottle thicknesses.
I attach here a table from @Koddra on what width to use for different PET bottle thicknesses.
| Bottle thickness [mm] | Width [mm] | Filament diameter [mm] |
|---|---|---|
| 0.45 | 5 | 1.7 |
| 0.40 | 6 | 1.7 |
| 0.35 | 7 | 1.7 |
| 0.30 | 8 | 1.7 |
| 0.25 | 9 | 1.7 |
| 0.20 | 10 | 1.7 |
| 0.15 | 11 | 1.7 |
The best way to print accurate spacers is to use adaptive layers.
