Filament Guillotine

Here is a little tool I made to snip the ends off filament. I grew tired of reaching for snips to clean up the end of filament every time I pulled it out of the extruder- so this little guy cuts the ends off and is velcro'ed right on top of my makerbot.
There are two extra bolt holes running through the base- just in case I wanted to add any other accessories in the vicinity.

You'll need
-a classic exacto blade,
-a 3/16 bolt and hex nut
-2 rivets and washers
-an elastic band to spring the arm.

It works really well and its super satisfying to use!
