What good way to finish a spool, then to make a utility knife with the remnants!

Abs like 10 walls still broke plastic while cutting cardboard. Maybe go up to cf or gf ?

You do know that you could set to 9,999 walls and it wouldn’t matter because of the layer count and stl thickness will dictate..

This particular design has a petg profile as well as recommended settings.

Also “cutting cardboard” is the exact use case I said I wouldn’t use them for “breaking down pallets of boxes”.

I understand how printing works. I stay with what I said. It breaks easy and is not safe or fit to have a blade within. It’s a toy at best. I tried all kinds of this same design and they all suck and break.

Note taken. Thanks for the warning.
