Assembly instructions
| Begin by preparing the knife blade. Apply a bit of masking tape to the blade, which will allow you to mark the exact location of your intended cut. Make sure the sides of your mark are parallel and spaced exactly 28mm apart. Once your marks are made, use an angle grinder to make the cut. A printable version of the blade is also included if you prefer to print it. | ||
| Place the knife blade in its holder, then slide the lid on. Secure it using 10mm screws paired with lock nuts. However, be careful not to overtighten the top screw, as it's crucial to leave enough space for the string attachment. | ||
| Adhere the text to the left side. The type of adhesive you choose should depend on the composition of the material you've printed with. In my experience, epoxy glue work with a variety of materials and is great for PETG. Blast it with a heat gun to get rid of the stringing if any. | ||
| Prepare the base by inserting two square nuts. Once they're in place, secure both sides using 18mm screws. | ||
| Continue by repeating the procedure for both the front and back pieces. Insert the square nuts into their respective slots and secure them in place using 14mm screws. | ||
| Now, move on to the top piece. Insert the square nuts into their designated slots, then secure the top in place using 18mm screws. | ||
| Position the two wheels in their designated spots and secure them using 16mm screws and lock nuts. Be careful not to overtighten the screws, as this could restrict wheel movement. After securing, spin the wheels to ensure they move freely. | ||
| Secure the string to the knife, threading it through the hole, guiding it along the path of the wheels, and then back down on the left side. To add a neat finishing touch, I attached a split ring to the end of the string. Although using Prusa orange string isn't mandatory, it does fit nicely into the overall design, doesn't it? Now you are finished, good job! |
I also included a .step file so you can make your own modifications with ease.
