Please take note I cannot take any blame if you site will allows this; in my experience I have been ok as the blade bends easily to 90 degrees.

This is to be use as a toy and not a weapon.

Lots of photos attached.

I recommend printing in the orientation of the picture I attached of the slicer.

TPU can be a pig to print if you use the same material as the support. If you do just use a hot scalpel and smooth it off, therefore I orientated the print on its side as there is no visual impact.

When both parts are finished the blade will be very tight to push into the T section, it can be glued if you desire.

Please comment and there is no such thing as a stupid question so please ask away, all questions will be highly valued in my eyes.

Thanks all
