Material and Printing Recommendations

The box cutter can be printed using any standard 3D printing filament, including PLA, ABS, PETG, or other materials. The strength of the cutting edge will depend on the material used; stronger materials will result in a more durable and effective cutting tool.

Safety Instructions

• Handle with Care: As with any sharp object, it is crucial to handle the box cutter with care to avoid injury.
• Safe Cutting Practices: Always cut away from your body and fingers. Never use excessive force when cutting, as this increases the risk of slipping and injury.
