The stick of butter I used was 3cm x 3cm x 12cm (this should be a standard size for sticks of butter across the USA). For my stick of butter, I needed to scale every piece by exactly 500%, if your butter is different you may need to find a different scaling value. All clearances have been designed in already so please use a consistence scaling factor. Your butter will also need to be soft already as this is not great as cutting butter right out of the fridge.
All pieces can be printed without brim and only the container needs supports.
I highly suggest printing the container in on its side (the orientation it is already in) for easy of support removal. If you would really like to save material you can print the container upside down, but I found support removal to me a major pain.
I faced warping issues on the blade and the tray when trying to print all the pieces at the same time, so I suggest printing each individually.
You will need to print 2 arms and 3 dowels. one dowel will NEED to be the full 5cm for the blade, one will NEED to be trimmed to fit in container groove, and one CAN be trimmed to attach the arms to the lever.
When assembling, please make sure that the blade's wedge is upside down
