Required material

2  X M3x10 mm            For fixed blade
2  X M3X20 mm          For the moving blade
pcs pen springs      For the moving blade
3  pcs bearing 21x15x4mm
3  wood screws 3,5x12 mm for handle, aretetion ring and knob

Insert a 13 mm nut into the M8 bolt clamp.

Printing recommendation: The parts are mechanically very stressed, I set the printing parameters:
4 perimeters, 50% infill, on the rollers 7 perimeters + collar.

When printing the rollers I used Scarf sems so that the seam was not so pronounced and did not print the pattern on the printed material.

Added parts for the version without bearings-Leg A,Leg B,Handle,Fix axle.I recommend lubricating well !!


I printed the cylinders and gears from Petg
