The Tip Nipper

This is the Tip Nipper filament cutter. It uses a standard utility razor blade to cut your 1.75 mm filament at a 45 degree angle and keeps the offcuts in a removable tray so they don't go flying everywhere. There are four 2.8 mm holes that are large enough to facilitate a globby melted end. This is so you can dull the blade in four different places before turning it around to use the other half. I designed it with function, efficiency, and safety in mind. I printed almost 20 versions as I honed and tinkered it into a design that was worthy of sharing with the world.

The nipper consists of 4 pieces: the Blade Side, the Holes Side, the Blade Strap, and the Offcut Tray. I have taken every consideration to ensure that this is a safe and effective tool, but I cannot make any guarantees against accidental cuts and such. Please be careful during assembly, and always be mindful of the blade.

To assemble, simply line the Holes Side's hinge up with the grooves on the Blade Side's hinge and
