Description

After many months of testing I present the magnetic action exacto knife, great little tool for arts and crafts, opening boxes and also fun as a fidget toy (use responsible ;) )

You will need three 5x2mm magnets which will need to be glued into their dedicated holes, make sure you get the polarities correct when glueing them in so the bladeholder magnet sticks to both handle side magnets. Bladeholder and clip should be printed on a smooth surface/pei plate to ensure a good fit and smooth gliding action in the handle. Handle should be printed vertically/standing up with a large brim.

The model is compatible with original X-ACTO nr11. blades and generic exacto blades. The generic blades have a 6x2mm slot in the base of the blade. The blade clip locks the blade into the bladeholder and will need some force to be fully pushed down, it is a tight fit which ensures the blade has a solid mounting point. When changing a blade the clip can break due to the tight fit so it is avised to print a few spare clips if you plan on changing often.

Great concept and design, but tolerances were not considered. The small bits are too tight to press together and if you do manage to jam them together forget trying to get it to slide. Everything is too tight.

Hello Moebis, that is unfortunate to hear, do you have a blade that is compatible with the model? It took several prototypes to get the tolerances right for an original nr11 exacto blade and a generic blade with 6x2mm slot. The clip is indeed tight, you will have to push down hard on the blade holder from the top to pop it into place. if the clip is not seated correctly it cannot slide. And what filament did you use?

Replying to @SabreDesign :

Thanks for the reply. I will try again as (like I said) it's a great design and concept. I'm using a standard xacto blade, and printing with Bambu PLA filament, 0.4mm nozzle (X1C). I think it's just a tad too tight. Maybe I'll scale the housing up to 100.5% and the blade clip to 99.5% and that might be enough.

Okay thanks for the feedback, let me know how it goes. I migth make the fit a little looser if needed.
